hi peeps. just when i thought things were going great this happens! my 1.2 htp fabia 2004 has been giving me stirling service since taking ownership. getting 37 - 40 mpg round town which i was impressed with.

now today on a run out, my yellow engine light came on. looking at the owners handbook it says it is a EPC warning light. poss exhaust emissions or electronic power control issue. still none the wiser lol.

anyone had this problem and any ideas on wot it is and how to solve?

 

many thanks

mike

You need to get it scanned with a diagnostic tool to show what fault code it's bringing up.

If you have a laptop you can download free software to do this but you need to buy the cable.

cool cheers bud. am borrowing a mates tomorrow to see wot is wrong. seen loads on ebay from 12.99 upwards. how do i know which one is for my car?

Any obd2 reader should work.

Post the link up if your unsure.

after all this, the light has turned its self off! mind u i did change my headlight bulb and forget to turn my lights off! 5 hours they were on! but car still started as normal. borrowed a mates obd2 reader, now the light gone out! will watch it over next few days. might have been the 100mph trash down the motorway that blew the cobwebs out lol

might have been the 100mph trash down the motorway that blew the cobwebs out lol

 

100mph in a 1.2?

 

You are brave

If you need full VCDS I have it in Exmouth - no charge, but it does mean driving about 50 miles.

wot is vcds?

yh 100mph! loved it!

Used to be called vag com diagnostics

wot is vcds?

 

 

VAG-COM Diagnostic System. A diagnostic software program that you can use on a laptop along with a cable that plugs into the laptop and into the diagnostic socket on the car.

for some odd reason the light has gone out and not come back! had the same with an abs light too. rain has been pretty heavy down here, maybe water had got in somewhere, but all is good. thanks everyone for their advice and help
