Epc Warning Light

[b0rk]

Hello, i came on earlier last month to sort a problem out with no heat,

now an error comes up with EPC,

i was driving bk from sheffield to my home (13 miles) and it just came on,

the temp gauge comes on sometimes then just goes back off

like it goes to 90 then goes back to 0

i wonder if its a fault with the sensor??

I've no idea what it is, but i have same problem but i have the engine management light on all the time, and the epc light flashing on like evey other month or so.
I've had it checked out by 3 different garages and they're all not sure what's causing, prob some kind of wiring fault they all say and said aslong as car still running fine then should just leave it!!
Been like this for over a year now and car still runs fine!! (fingers crossed )

Dear all

My girlfriend has a 2003 Ibiza and the following keeps happening whilst driving:

Brake pedal locks - she cannot depress the pedal, which gives no brakes - eek
EPC light comes on
engine light comes on
Car stalls
Steering occasionally goes

Obviously this is very worrying and I did my nut when I found out she was driving about with it like this (it seems to have happened at slow speeds - hence she is still with us). She took it into the dealership and they ran a diagnostic and came up with a faulty manifold sensor. That was replaced for £200 and off she went -only to find the same fault again, this time in the snow and she span the car - very worrying

So it is going back to the dealer tomorrow. Any thoughts on why this might be happening as the dealership seem a bit clueless to the point of dangerous and need a push in the right direction. I have noticed a lot of threads that point to the brake light switch under the brake pedal causing a multitude of ills, but nothing as extreme as this.

I also noticed one of the passenger side brake lights on when the car was parked the other day, with the lights off and the keys in the ignition, which again makes me think the brake light switch could be on the blink.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Cheers

Ben
