My Fabia has the letters, EPC come up on the facia or whatever its called and keying them in I found they mean the following. As well as that a picture of the engine shows meaning I know not what. I asked a mechanic who just drive it. Is he right? 

The Electronic Power Control (EPC) warning light indicates a problem with your vehicle's throttle system, which could include the accelerator pedal, fuel injection throttle body, traction control, cruise control, or other systems.

Firstly, check to see if your brake lights are working as the EPC light can come on due to a faulty brake light switch or bulbs.

Many thanks for the above. I will check that when I get off my sick bed.

Hope you're soon well

Mine occasionally shows a warning, a cheap code reader reports 'P1071' 

 

P0171 is a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) for "System Too Lean (Bank 1)".

 

I clear the code and it's fine for many months. I think it is related to me trying to eke out the fuel and driving with a light foot.

 

As the mechanic says, just drive it or pay £15 or so on a code reader for peace of mind.

Mine had this due to the wrong fuel filter being fitted, it turns out.
