Hi, I have been looking through other topics regarding the epc and engine management light and so far have only read to restart the car over and over, or take it to a dealer/get an engine code.

I first had the engine light come on before the cambelt tensioner went, and the valves bent, the car has been fixed recently but the engine light and now also the epc light is on.

Does anyone have any other suggestions of what the problem is or how to possibly fix it?

Thanks

Unfortunately there is no guessing, you'll need to have the fault codes

read with a diagnostic computer.

From the stickies. It's just guesswork unless you get a code reader on it.

Hi, thanks for the info, a friend of mine is going to let me borrow his VAG scanner.

Just want to update the situation on the car as it's looking like a nice weekend and if there's anything I could clean or poke before it's scanned I might as well give it a try.

The EPC light has now turned off (after battery was fully charged) but when taken for a test drive, the car when idling was revving between 600rpm and 1200rpm all by it's self or it was lumpy when idling so my partner took the throttle body off and cleaned it, this all most sorted the problem out, still little lumpy when idling but no revving.

Anyway this is whats currently going wrong on my car

engine warning light on

slightly lumpy idle (800rpm to 900rpm)

When driving slow sometimes feels like it jumps backwards but doing a steady 30mph feels smooth.

Stalls easily when reversing

I'm just wondering if there is a sensor that could have broken when the valves got bent or if the engine warning light could be a stored error code which will need the ecu resetting

The temp sensor seems to be working ok, climes in temp very smoothly no sudden jumps.

Thanks

I had the same problem and continued for about two months with the EPC light coming on intermittantly. After a while i took it to the Skoda garage where they replaced the engine coolant temp sensor.

If you do nothing else run a throttle body adaptation! (Group 060 basic settings without engine running I think).
