Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    Hi guys,

    New here. Owned a golf for 2 years now, but suckered into the Scirocco.

    Argh... Anyone got a good deal for them in Sydney lately? Do they have ready stock?

    Not sure where i should post this... But i was hoping someone could help me.

    Hi,

    About 2 weeks ago, I sent my MKv GTI for a 75K service and a AF system decarbonise. I use my car only the weekends and hence, I've only travelled about 400km since.


    While on the highway a few days ago, the EPC lights and the ESP lights came on while I was travelling about 90kmh on the highway. The car could not accelerate and lost power, so i pulled over to the side. After stopping the RPM was going up and down and the car was shaky while i stopped. I switched off the car and started it again. A week ago before this, I had a blown brake light, so after this happened, I immediately bought a replacement globe and replaces the blown brake light (not sure if this had anything to do with the EPC light).

    After restarting the car, the ESP light was gone and only the EPC lights was lit. However, the car functioned perfectly and everything was fine. After a couple of drives, the EPC light remains lit although the car drives perfectly. I'm wondering what the problem is. Cruise control works fine, brake light switch seems fine too (when i step on brakes, both brake lights behind lights up ok), turbo and power of the car is normal, car starts fine too..

    Would anyone be able to advise what the problem could be and the cost and duration to rectify it? Could it be just a case of connecting the car to the VAGCOM and resetting it?


    Thanks!
