hi just noticed this light is now brightly lighted in my dials! just in time for xmas, now i have a cat back s/s sytem and been on for about 6 months is it to do with the emissions, do i ignore or do i just put it down to having this exhaust????
thanks

p.s oh and hi by the way!

my advice would be take it to the garage where u got the exhaust fitted and tell them and see if they can do n e thing. if they say no then take it to a vw garage and see what they can do.

Mines done this when i put the decat on. You will need to get this checked as it may fail the mot with the emmisions being too high. In my case, i will just be sticking the cat back on and it'll be fine.

Which light? The EPC?

If its the EPC light then its complaining that its gone out of adaption range, which is probably to do with faffing about with the exhaust, and changing the backpressure or resonance.

If so, you will need to switch it to basic settings - which requires vagcom but will not bother you again.

My EPC has just come on aswell.

What's vagcom?

vag-com is a fault code reader software that you put on your laptop and youand use it to read and and test componets just like a dealership but cheaper in the long run. hope this helps

Okay the light has gone off, it has been like that a couple of days.

Is it going to blow up or what? lol

probably just a sporadic fault then.

It's come back on.

It's gunna diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiie boooooohoooooooooooo

best ad get it checked out then.

Yeah am getting it sorted

hope whatever it is wont cost to much

ive had problems with my car befor like that. nothing happened tho. it was sorted easily and quickly........ my car should be perfect when i get it back tho from the garage. hopefully it'll be saturday so i'm looking forward to it.

Thanks Guys

PP It's still under warranty so should be ok!

It's booked in for Saturday, the guy even said i can have it back the same day
