I was changing my boot bulbs with LEDs then the lights went of now I have EPC on and the car is gutless . Anyone help me 

No help :(

 

You have been a bit vague.

 

what exactly happened? which lights went off? are they still off? Did you short something out?

 

bottom line you need a code reader to figure out what has happened 

I was putting led bulbs in the boot and all my interior lights went off I then went to go out and the epc light was on and the traction control light is on . This morning I started it and it don't sound well at all

What year, pre FL or FL?

2006 so pre FL. I didn't unplug the battery so must have shorted something out but God knows what

does seem like something has shorted out

 

Do you reckon I've popped something or something as simple as a reset . I've seen on YouTube ways to turn of the EPC light but would that work 

 

Check all your fuses one by one.

So say there was a fuse that's gone would that make the car run so bad ?? 

Very easy way to find out...

Do you have the Owner's Handbook? Should be some info in there.

This shows a LHD car, so right hand end of your dash if RHD: https://www.carcarekiosk.com/video/2011_Skoda_Octavia_TDI_CR_2.0L_4_Cyl._Turbo_Diesel/fuse_interior/replace

Well u was right with the blown fuse number 15 . So would that make the car run funny ? I don't have a spare fuse to try it 

As I say, easy to find out, put a new fuse in when you can get one, and see what happens.  Let me see if I can identify one that won't matter if you borrow it; gimme two minutes.

Damm if this works I'll be so happy . It's my first car so not the best with it yet but getting better with this forum

Have you got a 5 Amp one n position 18? That's for a "Parking aid control unit" which sounds like something you could do without for a bit. I know the one you need is 7.5A, but I bet a 5 amp fuse will last long enough to prove a point (or not).

No I don't have 1 in position 18 

Shame you're not nearer, I've got dozens of spare fuses!

Yeah is a shame I could do with advice . I'm in essex , Colchester
