🎯THANK YOU!!! ❤️My EPC popped on & losing power. I had 9 codes & was told I needed a new engine!!! Watched this video & fixed the problem!!!😊
The EPC light is an indicator for a variety of issues and is basically a warning to get your service station to hook up and read the codes. We did this today, and turns out one of the pistons has very low compression. We have an expensive option ahead to have the engine lifted and the pistons repaired, and if we had just ignored the EPC light and assumed it was something small and kept driving around we could have stuffed the whole engine.
My EPC light came on yesterday .I took the car to the garage today and they told me one cylinder isn’t firing .I feel better knowing what the problem is .Thanks for your video ,it is very helpful !
Did you figure out what the issue was? Have same problem now.
just searched for the issue and here I am...appreciate your work.
subbed.
my 2013.5 gli has
129,340 miles on the clock. bought it new early summer, 2013 when they began using the ea888 engine maybe as a irl testing kinda thing before they used the engine in the soon to be released golf gti with the ea888...I love this car and tho I've had some issues I hope to be driving it
in another 10 years....don't laugh...it could happen.
thanks dude.
Yes sir! Had mine since 2012. I don't plan on gettin rid of it anytime soon either!
Nice work Dog💯. Also a bad coil pack can cause the epc light to come on. Had that problem on a 2012 VW Beetle Turbo. Also clearing codes actually solves a lot of problems on euros
Just came on my 2012 beetle along with the check engine light. Almost impossible to accelerate normally, just happened from day to the other. What could it be?
@@mauricioreal7384 Did you fix this?
@@stopa003 yes. Took it to my mechanic and it turned out to be a bad throttle body. Paid 400 bucks, had it replaced and was on my way again.
@@mauricioreal7384i have a cylinder 3 misfire in my 2015 Passat Tsi and whenever I try accelerating the engine/thottle starts stuttering, I feel like it could be my ignition coils, injectors, or spark plugs, and maybe even my throttle body but I’d love to hear your opinion/feedback
@@Foreignwristsi have the same issue, what solved tours? Thank u
Shout from 🇿🇦, I'm sick of over sensitive cars. Considering cycling 😹
Do you have a video on replacing a throttle body for vw Jetta se 2014
Your outro SLAMS in my GLI 😂
only thing that i admit is funny with VW s - epc on and off once a month, i know its the acc. pedal, but my mechanic only of course can tell if light is on , annoying meant 2 be driving long distance today. might go into limp, think of me fellow epc ppl
🤣
Shit fkn sucks
I would have unplugged the battery for a few minutes. That should have reset your computer and cleared your codes. I don't know for sure if it would have worked not but I would have given that a shot. Great video. Love my 2013 manual GTI. I think our cars are very similar in technology/parts. My second GTI. I love my VW.
My EPC and check engine light is always on. My mechanic told me it misfires because my spark plugs have burnt out quickly and I need to have it replaced every 2 months. When I had it replaced, my car runs fine. Then 2 months later both lights came on again when it started to throttle. Been driving it like this for a whole 3 months straight and suddenly it broke down on me. Couldn't accelerate or start up my engine. Now I don't know what will happen after it broke down on me. Could it be the spark plug? I need some advice. Let me know what i need to do to have it back running.
I actually had a epc error today. Going to get gas on the way to work. Turned around and went home to grab my backup vehicle. I was originally thinking it was an issue with the dsg trans. Soon as I'm off work I'm going to have the time to actually look it it. Mines a 13 vw Cc 2.0 turbo
Update: when I checked the only code stored was for cylinder 3 misfire. Ran the data and cylinder 3 wasn't firing. So my fix is the car needs a tuneup
Sounds like a bad coil pack or fuel injector. Good luck on your repair 👍
did replacing the spark plug do the job? my cc has the same issue
@@Shcaso what ended up fixing mine was replacing the crankcase ventilation valve. Ever since I replaced that car ran perfect. Just sold the car last week at 163k miles. Issue popped up around 90k miles so ide say for 70k miles of no problem that happened to be my problem
@@Crazyman23 i’m j under 90k w a 2011 so that may be the issue. though i’m starting w new spark plugs. if that don’t work i’ll do coils, and check that crankcase thing. i’ve also read about throttle body among other issues. there’s only so much i can do myself before needing to take it in to a shop. though i have a obd2 and it’s saying triple misfire so 🤞🏼it’s j the plugs
@@Shcasodid the spark plugs work for you?? I’m currently having issues with the epc light as well and I was wondering if it was resolved or if it’s another issue
I got my first epc light on my Beetle last week, I also got a burnt tail light bulb the same day, when I changed out the bulb the light went away, and hasn’t come on ever since, is this normal?? 🥺
Coincidence
Replaced my plugs, coils, vacuum pump gasket, valve cover and gasket, and throttle body and still getting an epc light on high rpm. Turns off when I turn the car off and doesn’t come back on until I hit around 5k rpm and then it turns on and the car goes in limp mode, any ideas?
My 2015 Audi A4 Quattro does the same thing. I keep throwing parts at it. Did you figure anything out? Thank you so much...
@@darkelite8702 Yeah I figured it out, turns out a rodent ate my high pressure oil sensor and when I would hit high rpm’s it would trigger the sensor and since it wouldn’t work the epc light would come on. Swapped it out and no more epc light, I would highly recommend buying a obd sensor specifically for European cars, that’s how I figured out it was the pressure sensor
My gti has a hard start and stutter when driving. When this happens the epc light flashes on then off then my cruise control doesn’t work til I restart the car🙄
My neighbor has 2018 Passat with ~15k miles. Today out of nowhere, the EPC and Check engine light lit up after she drove about 100 meters in the morning. For about an hour she tried to start the car again, drive a bit, but the car was running rough when idle, but driving wasn't too bad. Although engine power was limited. Vehicle sat for a few hours while owner called VW dealership (car is still under warranty). By the time they drove off to VW dealership the above lights disappeared. I still advised them to drive to VW and get the car checked out. To me, it sounds like some type of vacuum leak as it happens in idle, but car with such low miles...maybe it is a VW thing and it is normal.
Happened to my mothers car at just 2y/o and 20k miles. 3 trips to the dealer to fix. They only gave us a courtesy car for 1 day though and it had almost no coolant in so was returned 😂
30,500 miles on my 2017 Passat. Changed oil a month ago. Replaced battery six months ago. Today the EPC & Engine lights came on. Of course, a holiday. Everything closed. 🥴
Nice vidéo. Is the OBD scan you are using affordable. What brand is it please?
I use a BlueDriver which has a fair amount of features. $120...
Interesting. I have a 2015 Jetta 2.0 and just hit 40,000 miles. The EPC has come on a few times and when I pull over and turn the car off for 2 minutes it seems to work fine. I did look under the hood (no mods) and I noticed a mess around the throttle body intake hose. I pulled it and it slid right off without loosening the clamp....
O wow! Hopefully that solves your issues!
Joels Driveway man, it didn’t fix the problem. I have the car serviced regularly by VW and it’s always checked out fine. I really don’t want to change out the throttle body, but it’s a small investment since the car has been so good to me. Maybe I need to buy an OBD scanner? Seems like a reasonable thing to spend under $40 on, if it can tell me what’s up. Once the car sits overnight, the “Check Engine” turns off. The thing I really want to do is program the car so the horn doesn’t sound when I lock the car. What a POS sound THAT is.
@@RyanCrase1 Get one from Amazon. They're like 35 bux. A scanner is a MUST for these cars. Easy to Google the codes and fix it yourself. I'm curious what the issue is. Let me know what you find out.
Joels Driveway thanks Joel! Will keep you posted.
Joels Driveway I ended up needing plugs, plug wires and an ignition coil. The car has 44,000 on it and it’s been trouble free.
just got the epc light permanently on. I plugged a cheap ELM 327 scanner and shows nothing when I read the codes... any recommendation? I have seen nothing abnormal, everything works fine except the EPC light
Mine was an oil leak on the MAF sensor.
Just got an EPC and threw me on limp, turned the car on and it feels rough at start, afterwards it sounds good, and it smells like gas pretty strong, checking it out today and hoping to fix it soon, it’s my daily 🤕🤕
propably a coilover
i mean coilpack sorry
@@16cliffedge thats funny 🤣
Did u see what was wrong
@@TheThegreenpi my parents car had the issue. In the end the fuel injectors needed replacing. Strange for a 20k mile golf (1.5t) which they bought just a month before it happened…
You could have put Permantex black silicone on the rip to test before buying a replacement.
But why?
@JoelsDriveway I did say test did I not? Also the Permantex could have save him cost of replacement, right?
Rims look sick my man
Thanks bro!
Erasing the codes won't make the problem go away 😱
Its been two months. Still no issues. EPC light has not came back 👍
The video flew over your head
This light came on after I got spark plugs changed, is that normal?
Definitely NOT normal after a plug change. Take it back to where it was serviced and see if they can find the issue.
I get an EPC light only when i’m driving back home from school weirdly enough. I commute over an hour to school and then over an hour back. And at some point my car starts to shake and then it comes on. But when I turn my car off and turn it back on its gone. Lol
I have a p025A Fuel Pump Control Module Control, Singal Too Low. along with an EPC light. Replaced the Fuel Pump Control Module and still having EPC Problems any advise?
My epc light came on today and the car slowed and came to a stop I had to turn the car off turn it back on press the gas put it in drive for it to go. It gave me trouble starting up the first time. I have 2007 vw Jetta Wolfsburg edition.
Same symptoms, and mine would randomly die. Not alot , 4 times in day 12 trips.
I changed the crankshaft position sensor and no problems now.
Got this EPC light on my 2012 VW Jetta 77k miles. It’s coming and going away on its own. Not sure what do with it. When I got into freeway it’s limiting the power.
Mine also comes and goes but I have no engine light on so when I scan there are no codes!! Please help!!!!
Great video, I have a 2014 jetta, the EPC light came on, and I lost power, I shutted the engine and wait for 15 mintues, then I turned it on and the light was gone, I have the engine maintenance done the same day after the situation, and went I had the car back the engine trembled again and the light poped on again, what could it be?
Me too
#MeToo
Get a new battery, dude!
Same
Anyone find out the problem ?
I had the same EPC and engine light on the dashboard of my 2013 VW CC the Fixed device read codes P2306 and P0303 and I changed the spark plugs and the coils and the problem was fixed. No more misfire
Hey I'm having that issue now. I replaced the coils and plugs and I'm still having the same problem. Do you have any ideas please help 🙏
@@zansei1check engine valves! Hopefully ur piston are okay
Can epc light be caused by leaking gas cap?
No it’s most likely spark plugs or coil packs. Very common on VW
EPC light on? Most likely, you have an old battery under your hood. Either that or it’s time for an oil change. Replace it with a new one and the EPC light should permanently disappear.
What if it's a vw passat
I have an Audi 😫
@@introverted2316 It should do the trick for a Passat also.
what's oil got to do with the power system?
@@d1ssolv3r someone told me the oil pressure sensor is linked to this system
These cars are junk, Im done with VW/Audi smh. Getting a Toyota.
😂
Thinking the same here shit
Very true
Toyota vehicles are the only cars I've never had any major issues with since I started driving. Good choice.
The only time a Volkswagen is good is when you sell it. Some are fast and drive great but they are nightmares for sho.
Any suggestions if my epc light randomly comes on...then turn my car off and back on, the eps usually goes away?? It’ll happened like 1x a month maybe less 🤦🏻♀️
Might get worse over time. Get it scanned. There should be some stored codes to check. Start there.
Yes mine comes on like 2x a year since I have been driving. It always goes away but gets annoying when it comes back on
@@ethankrakowski4200 so was something wrong ?
I was checking my fuse box because my 12v connection was not working . Found out a fuse was blown out I put it back in place and I got the epc light 😭. Would this work?
What if I don’t have an OBD computer reader. if I disconnect the battery over night might that work?
It MIGHT work but I don't recommend it. The light may go out but the issue will still be there.
Thank you,I had a similar problem
Yo man did your car go in limp mode as well before you replaced that part? I ran the code and got engine misfire on cylinder one. Replaced all coils and spark plugs. Car runs way better but it has very rough idle and once it hits 3k rpm the acceleration shuts off. Car runs fine below 3k rpm
I knew the issue so i didn't drive it around. If you replaced all your coils and plugs, then depending on your mileage, it might be time to replace the fuel injectors. I had the same issue a few years ago. I replaced coils, plugs, and still misfiring. Replaced fuel injectors and issue went away. I had a little over 80,000 miles on the car.
Also check ur MAF sensor
Hi man. I m in middle of nowhere and I can't start my car.
Is it normal for the EPC light to show when you put your key turn but before you start the engine?
Same here in my 2006 jetta 2.5
yes
What was the problem? Car 09 Beetle will start for a second and shut off.
i've got a VW CC 1.4 TSI. when i'm doing high RPM's (like 4000) the car kinda gets stuck at 4000 RPM and doesn't go further up. also, the car shakes like it would shake when you're out of gas.
Sounds like its running in "limp mode". Is your Check Engine light on? May want to have it scanned for error codes. I'd start there.
Anybody know what OBD he has please?
Or a good one?
I just bought a VW with engine light on
Thanks
Link to the scanner in the description
@@JoelsDriveway Thanks
Thanks for share this video bro.verry helped..vw car very problme..
Did this problem ever transpire to something worse? say the timing chain tensioner or the timing chain itself?
No, when the timing chain has issues, you'll hear it.
Thanks for your advice it helps
My 2006 pissat ecp light is on car starts 1 day and wont another day
Did a tune up on my 14 vw Jetta. New coil packs new plugs, drove great for about a month, now my EPC light is back on ... any idea anyone ?
throttle body is the most likely culprit. Fairly easy to replace with some basic tools.
How you make sure that theres no missfire at that moment i don't get it
I have a question. I have epc light on. Replaced
fuel pump
Fuel filter
Fuel pressure regulator switch
Crank shaft position sensor
Gas pedal
Break lamp switch
Still no start any suggestions???
Did you replace the fuel injectors? What codes are you getting?
@@JoelsDriveway i did not repoace the fuel injectors because after i replaced the fuel pressure regulator i checked for spark and got no spark. Its immobilized. I then switched to replacing crankshaft position sensor and gas pedal. In the beginning i got codes 1780 1850 and 0725 i changed the crankshaft position sensor. The battery died and i have not gotten it to start since. Tomorrow im taking out the drivers seat so i can get comfterable and check all wires connected to the relay panel
I did the same fuel pump filter and relay it ran better it would loose power on left turns only besides that running good then today it went limp again and noticed the epc lite I must have been over looking the lite the whole time now I feel im getting closer to the fix after seeing these videos gonna put the reader on it asap and go from there
@@eddierodriguez1807 let me know when u find out. I have done everything on this car now except for the computer. I replaced the maf sensor and the throttle body since the last posting. I also tried re programming new keys too...
Change the battery
my 2014 golf seven tsi was fine till i change oil,spark plugs and all filter,,and it showed the engen warning lights and epc lights no power at all any advice
Hmm, sounds like something was disconnected and not reattached. Scan for codes. It should tell you where to check.
Wait bro, so you fixed Engine Misfire by erasing codes ???
Hi I m struggling in Volkswagen Polo as a symbol of EPC ,Engine and Temperature in running and engine 9ff after a 20 kilometer run please suggest
Hi there! I would suggest scanning the car for error codes first. Once you know what errors you have, you can pinpoint a solution for repair.
I have a 12 CC . I just don't think its a good engine. I have had continual problems with my VW CC
Mine just happened yesterday hope this is the cause
Was it?
@@adriaanniemand5700 no man it was a blown coil coat 90$ and fixed it

Where did you buy the gold tape heat reflector?
I think amazon but you can pick it up at most auto parts stores
@@JoelsDriveway I just bought a 2018 Passat tsi bro but the epc and engine light only come on when the electrical is on not when I'm driving. Any input will be greatly appreciated
My EPC light comes on after 30 minutes of the car driving fine. No CEL codes at all. Battery tested and its charged + within voltage. Help!!!!
Try replacing crankshaft position sensor( engine speed sensor) worked for me.
They don’t make them like the used to. I’d take my MK4 GLI and early mk5 GTI over my 17 Jetta any day of the week. Missed my GLI SO MUCH I found a 07 2dr gti and it might n day all around even quality and thickness in the metals used throughout the car.
Just imagine if you took it to a mechanic they probably would have made up something and charged you big money. That’s why we should work on our own car if possible.
my epc turns on and the turbo stops working I think it's time for a new turbo 🥲
How can I contact you I’m having similar problems but code errors for the camshaft sensor and spark plug I changed both still same issue but when u start it there’s a loud vacuum noise from the air intake
Having same problem right now. Did you ever get in touch with this guy ?
@@Kevin98765 it was the ignition coil
@@meech4prez747 thank you 🙏

EPC LIGHT ON AUDI A7 2011 OBD CODE P033600 AND P032100 ??????
A bad crankshaft position sensor would cause both these faults. I would start there.
I changed my spark plugs and coils and it’s still doing the same
If you still have misfires, replace your fuel injectors.
Yep that’s what’s wrong with one
Its telling you it needs an oil change. Hello.
😆😆😆
Erasing the codes does not fix the car, learn this from a 2.0t Audi owner
He never said it did
A bro what scanner do you have
Autel Autolink AL319. Amazon has them for around $35
"Mine is running rough"
Ha mine isn't running at all
You sure u fix the problem or you clear it with the obd scanner. 🤔 😏
Misfires were gone. Cleared codes to speed up process. Takes 50 miles of drive time to reset engine light on dash.
@@JoelsDriveway thanks for sharing the details
Of course! I recommend every VW owner to have an OBD2 scanner.
I have problem mate
Good Video
I find if you disconnect battery and reconnect it switches lights off.
Mine did not start and nothing did, i changed the battery to a new one and i got the EPC light on and the start and stop function error appeared, so now my ignition takes 2 to 3 tries to turn the engine on ! weird
Get a obd2 scanner n then clear the codes the.lights immediately go off the car runs better. You can get one at auto zone for 45 bucks...
So if you clear the codes the problems stop?
@@Warkilla007that's not the point
What OBD you are using
AutoLink AL319. Look it up on Amazon. It's around $35
BUT THEY FUN TO DRIVE👍👍👍👍👍👍
it's crazy this guy has only 20 less miles than my in my mk6 gti
Many codes are two and three trip codes. They won’t just go away with one short drive.
Yes, usually minimum 50 miles

Have the EPC have the check engine light flashing.
The idle is rough and when you push on the Excelerator to gun it rev it however you want to say. It’s sputters
Have a 2012 Tiguan. The low pressure light comes on when the car is warm. The oil pump and sensor are good. Can’t quite figure out what’s wrong. Has been like this and drives OK. Of late the check engine light is lit and EPC light comes on and off with little shaking. Any suggestions?
Scan the car for codes. Google the codes. It should lead you in the right direction.
