I saw one of those things the other day. Even uglier in person than in pictures or video. Uggg...
My EPC light turned on along a blinking check engine light after entering the freeway. Acceleration was hesitant/sluggish and DTC codes were all over the place(p0106, p0010, p0300, p0301,p0303)
I replaced spark plugs and ignition coil packs(rubber boot broke off when pulling coils out)cleaned the VVT solenoid and replaced the MAP sensor and this fixed my particular issue. Hope this helps someone as I it did to me.
Same fix worked for me.
How is the vehicle working now?
I've got a 2012 passat and my epc light came on. When that happened the car seemed to not have full power then I stop put in reverse the idle dropped the car stalled. I placed it in park the car started right up with no epc light and it went in reverse no problem. What would be the issue?
So I just watched the video just for the dude to tell me to take the car to a mechanic when I just want to do the repair myself. Some of us just want to fix the car ourselves.

Over engineering at its finest….. and three times the cost for parts
Thanks so much for your video .This happened to me today and it was scary .I’m taking my car to the garage tomorrow morning.
I had a similar issue with EPC which would come on after driving for a while and used an OBD2 which gave me a misfire on cylinder 4. I ended up replacing the ignition coil for cylinder 4 which fixed the issue. I have the issue back after a couple of months and suspect it could be another ignition coil issue but need to check everything again. Hope someone finds the info useful.
I have the exact same issue. I have not replaced the ignition coil yet and may hold off. What model and year vehicle is your VW? mine is a 2015 Golf TSI. My mechanic is telling me it is the turbocharger that is the culprit. I have been with him for years and he is always spot on with his diagnosis...any help on the subject would be appreciated!
I have this issue and my car is going into limp mode, I only have the car a week and it got a service before I got it back... 1.2 tsi, seems like common problem
Think you it was very helpful 🙂
Glad it was helpful!
-45c degree weather here in Canada.
Turned the car on and it sounded chocked (no air) probably due to low battery not giving juice to other components to start properly, this kind of cold affects everything electrical it’s crazy. So the car starts and barely stays on with low weak rpms. .5 1 to 1.5 rpm’s. Usually 1.5-2.5 rpm in that cold. The EPC light comes on. Traction control light came on as well.
Car was revving weird af. I thought the mechanical part maybe frozen not sure. Drove it a bit to give juice to the battery, reving and shifting was all over the place, went super light on the gas because you never know. Stopped, turned off the car after it warmed up a bit, and turned it back on, the lights went away and the car drove fine again. It did give me a good scare tho. In -45c car problems become catastrophic situations real quick lol.
This happen to me i drove the car for 140km and suddenly the car giving me a low power .😖 scary stop the car and start its working again after 10km again stop battery warning and epc . Its 47degree that time in UAE.
2014 VW Jetta with 1.8 TSI engine. Mine comes on when I go either wide open throttle or longer acceleration at about 3/4 throttle. This seems like it would be related to the throttle body. What is the specific throttle body issue to look for? Mine comes on without the CEL coming on and resets when I shut off and restart the engine. While the EPC light is on, the car seems to be underpowered, like it's in a "limp" mode. I love this car and would like to be able to go full throttle without this damn light coming on!
Why why why do some many people not include the engine they’re working on.
I’m not gonna watch any videos that does not say the engine type
My car is a polo vivo 2015 eclipse hatchback. EPC light came on and noticed that my brake lights no longer work however park light, indicator and reverse lights still work. So I've changed my bulbs and brake light switch (on the cylinder master head) as I do not have a foot pedal brake light switch. I'd like to think it's relating to my fuse or relay box however my car does not have a fusebox or relay diagram to diagnose which fuse, relay does what function. Please and advise accordingly.
My EPC light is on when I only turn the key half-way. That is also the case for the check-engine and the battery lights. As soon as I turn the key fully and start the engine, all three go out. Is that normal? I know it is normal for the check-engine and the battery lights, but is it also normal for the EPC?
Mine too I’m going get a scan tomorrow
All vehicles are like before starting, that's just showing all lights are working on the meter..😄.. it disappear once we start The car
@@sayed.12345 mine ended up being the gas cap tether was lodged in between the cap and filler neck acting as a large gas leak
@@sayed.12345question, i have had this problem before but i dont remember, what is it if the EPC ligjt is not showing up with the engine light on when in the “on” position, i believe that is the crank sensor?
Thanks if you know right away.
I’m driving an Audi A1 and I’m having the same problem, the EPC light came on while driving on a highway, and I’m due to change my MAF sensor, I’m crossing my fingers that the light came on because of the sensor because also my speedometer isn’t working now.
Mine would turn off when I did and oil change. Only came on when my oil was too low.
I've noticed the same thing with mine. I just replaced several parts two month's after getting an oil change and discovering a leak. I spent $500 and the car drove fine. Suddenly, the car began vibrating off and on, which would ceasr upon adding oil. Then, the EPC light came on and it stalled.
Epc light then knock on cylinders and low fuel pressure
i got an 1.2 TSI VW Jetta 2011, and whenever i push the gas to hard it jerks and just now my epc light and no traction light came on, and when the car is stationary its vibrating really bad even more when im driving.
Just got this light on my 2020 T-Roc. 1.5 TSI engine. The engine gets too much air and puts it in the safe mode. They told me it was known fault for these engines.
2015 Passat 119K miles & I have to add oil every month! Dealership has checked this car several times the past two years & say nothing is wrong with it.
Now the EPC just popped on. It acts as if it is going to shut off. Been feeling a slight jerking & loss of power while driving.
Ezzy fix change the emblem to lexus... It'll make it much more reliable after that
Mine burns oil, it’s a 2014 with about as much miles. If it’s not a leak it could need the PVC valve replaced which is the best case scenario. Worst case scenario it needs an engine rebuild
I put Lucas High Mileage oil stabilizer and it helped reduce oil consumption between oil changes. Try it out and hopefully it helps you too
Same here and as I have a gte I nearly always drive full electric and yet still the same oil issue
Jetty ecm power e9 2.0T
When my epc light come on it usually on when I'm on the highway and I also notice I go though oil quickly I have to change almost every month and it a 2014 Volkswagen, Passat turbo and when I'm on the highway it jerks
Same as me this is, think it will be the turbo burning the oil as it’s mistakenly getting fed too much of the stuff or maybe it could be piston rings im going to find out tomorrow
You guys ever find out the problem let me know. I burn thru a quart every 200 miles.
did you ever find what was wrong in have the same exact car and cant find anything else on why my car does that
@@bentomlinson6966any news?
Had this same problem, got my car used from a dealership and a month later my oil light came on, then again, then again. Took it to a mechanic, got it fixed and was told that the engine was burning a ton of oil because the crankcase had gone bad, which is apparently common in VWs.
“We-cul”
whenever epc light comes my car loss power and become slow somehow.i dont know what should i do
Same
@@noufalthazhathuveettil9025 if you found a solution mention it please
Sounds like your throttle body unit!
M experiencing that on my polo 1.2 Tsi?
Yes mine is doing the same
My Epc light turns on before i turn on the engine and when i turn on the engine it turns off is it normal?
yes
I have same with you but when i drive for a long time the at the highway i feel its jerking and losing power after it will come back .
I am having a difficult time removing the foot pedal upper panel that must be removed to replace the brake pedal switch. 2017 VW Golf Sportwagen SE (mk7?)
I have removed the 3 screws visible from below on the panel, a screw for the center console side panel that overlaps the pedal panel, the Storage Compartment door that hides the fuse panel and the 3 screws in that area, 1 screw in the side panel of the dash near the driver side door, and still the panel is fixed firm as if there are more fasteners to remove.
I may have to remove the other center dash trims and cockpit panel which is also overlapping this frickin panel but it appears there are fasteners inside and under the headlamp switch dash board trim!
They ought to make the engineers who design these idiotic labor intensive moronic assembly points!!!
Can anyone shine some light on how to remove this piece of crap? I cannot find any take apart info on this panel. All the MK7 brake pedal replacement videos begin with the panel already removed, another derelict move for a part replacement video. I know they must have had the same issues trying to remove the panel, and perhaps they broke the panel and excluded that part!???
I was washing the the engine then I see EPC now is cutting the power
This happen to mine did you find a fix ?
Mine came on while on a short drive right before i pulled into a gas station. Turned my car off anyways and it disappeared as soon as i turned the car back on. Is this all good then? Or should i get my car inspected?
@clipz7561can you reply to this if you get a fix? I’m having the same issue
This happened to me today. Came on then when I pulled over turned off and turned the car back on the light was gone and has been gona since. Did you figure out what happened with yours? Should I get it checked either way
SMH...

Engine doesn’t matter for this bud, this epc light will happen with any of the engines and they’re all roughly the same and they all have the same sensors
