2013 VW POLO 6R GTI EPC LIGHT LACK OF POWER

Post by infernousuk »

hi guys,

I currently own a 2013 VW POLO GTI which has done 18,000 miles , i have recently had some problems which come now and again where when i drive its OK, when i come to a stop and then when i want to set off i put my foot down quickly the car suddenly quickly stops and then drives , then the (EPC) light comes on for around 15 seconds which the car just lacks of acceleration / power , i rang dealers and told them whats happening and i booked it in with them , they had the car for two days and said the polo needed a new fuel pump + connectors for it , i also got a the DSG oil recall done to it too, when it was time to pick the car up it seemed ok ,

THE NEXT DAY !! , i took the car for a blast on the road and it seemed OK no stops , no EPC etc , then a soon as i stopped and then set off driving the car stopped / jerked (just once) and went with the EPC light on (15 seconds ) after that it seemed OK .

i really need help in fixing this matter as its pi55ing me off now , please please please any help is welcome ,


p.s my warranty is going to expire on the 5th or 6th march 2016

Book it into VW and let them deal with it in the first instance before your warranty expires!!
