EPC light on 2000 Polo

[Weedle]

Hey there

The EPC light has come on in my 2000 facelift polo

any ideas on causes / solutions would be gratefully accepted

have had problem with check engine light coming on with EPC light but this was prssure manifold sensor trouble and is regularly cleaned i think this might be a new problem or a fake light ??

any help is appreciated

The EPC light is the engine management warning light, so there could well be a hick up in the system somewhere so all i can suggust is get it to the stealers for a diagnostics or ask some one to plug it into VAGCOM for you to see what faults show up.

Agree. Could only be a minor hiccup but you never know eh? Best to have it checked out

i read on some other forum that possibly it was the pressure manifold sensor again and to have a good 60 - 80 mph spank down the motorway i did and the light went out !! hopefully this is the end of it but im gonna get my mate to vagcom it for me just to be on the safe side cheers for all your help

I had a 2000 face lift that sometime flashed up with the EPC no fault could be found, the car got reset each time.

I was recomended Superunleaded (optomax shell) and Octain boost together and a bloddy good thrash on the motorway the next time it came on.

It seemed to do the trick no light next time I flashed up the motor.
