EPC Light / Engine Management Light

Post by BOAK »

Originally the EPC Light was showing and car went into effectively limp mode. Light went off after I restarted the car, then same happened again, although this time the engine management came on alongside the EPC Light.

This is on a Polo Blue GT, any ideas what the issue could be?

You really need to get the fault code read to have an idea of the problem.

Its speculation as to what it could be but might be EGR valve, or emissions related.

Yeah true, had the fault code and engine look at, turns out it was the turbo actuator.

I'm out of warranty, however with only 14k miles on the clock my local VW garage have said they will fix it at zero cost! They were looking to charge £390 otherwise.
