EPC & engine warning light on ! car down on power
« on: October 13, 2014, 11:39:54 pm »
Hi ! the other day i was driving my car and the EPc light came on and suddenly noticed a lack of power
followed by that came the engine warning light...   i had the caar switched off for about 5 minutes and the car powered up this time with the engine warning light and no EPC light. and the turbo started to boost and the car felt as normal even though this light was illuminated... following to that the EPC light came back on and the car lost all power again.. any ideas guys ??
its a MK5 gti Manual 06' covered 85,000 miles.  F.S.H
cheers.
Olly

Get a vcds scan!
My gut feeling is it's your throttle body that gone bad.
Without traction power is nothing!
