Hi guys, im after some advice.

Two nights ago, some idiot left his lights on in the car. I used a battery pack the following night to start her up and took her for a long drive. The car is fine now in terms of starting etc. The only two downsides after this event are that....

a, the throttle isnt as smooth (probably a TB recalibration needed?)

b, the EPC light is permanently on in the dash pod.

I dont have access to VAGCOM. Can anyone offer any advice on why the EPC light has been on since the battery died.

Cheers,

Lee

EPC - Electronic Power Control

System includes

Throttle body

Throttle pedal

Brake light switch

Clutch switch

You got it in point a) I would think, when the TB looses its 12v then it looses its basic settings.

Thanks. You are a top knucklehead. (read it in the other thread - pmsl)

Can it do any damage/cause any other issues as I wont have access to vagcom again for sometime?

Cheers,

Lee

You could try leaving the ignition on for a minute (engine not running), to try and reset the throttle body.

Really? I will try this in the morning. Thanks

this happened to me on my bora as well, took engine management fuses out, put back in, try also both with ignition on and off, it worked with mine
