Driving to work this morning and the EPC light and ESP light came on and the car lost power - wouldn't accelerate much at all. Had to pull over on the side of the highway. Popped the hood and the engine was shuddering pretty badly and nearly stalling. Tried to drive it again and it would barely accelerate. Turned it off for a minute and then back on again (no EPC or ESP light) and all was ok - car drove fine all the way to work (20km+).
I'm seeing Gav on Thursday for stage 2 tune so can check the codes and see what was up but hopefully it's nothing too serious! I did read about the brake light switch causing this problem too: http://www.vwwatercooled.com/forums/...fix-57882.html (I did notice a slight squeak in the brake pedal over the past few weeks).
The car had sat outside in the rain for the past few days without being driven - not sure if that has anything to do with it (knowing VW electrics!!). Hopefully doesn't affect plans for stage 2 and Lakeside this weekend
