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.
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.
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
EPC light and check engine were on in my Passat 2012, after replacing the MAF sensor and the trottle body it continued shaking and with no power, found that one spark plug was damaged so replaced the complete set and voala! all issues fixed, no more lights on dashboard.
-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.
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?
@@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.
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.
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'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.
@@h_eayes for me, i found out that my thermostat housing have some leak and thermostat need to change . And jerk is gone . 2nd gasket from the top cylinder was damage my coolant was draining without any sign of leak when i go for a long drive whole day AC coolant is less and start to jerk but all fix. Now no issues at all
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!
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.
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.
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
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.
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 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?
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
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.
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!???
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
My epc light was on along with engine light with code p0341 I replaced the camshaft and my engine oil was low and dirty after that both lights disappeared and the weird sounds it was making disappeared even tho my oil light wasn’t on

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
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.
Mine would turn off when I did and oil change. Only came on when my oil was too low.
