Woah, that was pretty tricky to read.

The EPC light just shows that there is a problem. Get the free Vag-Com software and a cable to connect to a laptop (ebay, dirt cheap) and read exactly what the problem is.

 

[moz4321]

had it on the machine it says the break light sensor is at fault not sure why and bought a lead n got the software with it and it wont reconise the lead dont know why

 

[RichN]

What was the fault code.

Does it actually say it's the brAKe pedal switch/sensor?

 

[moz4321]

not sure i didnt do it myselfe it was a garage that done it
cheers for post

Hey... Thats what MY car used to look like... nawwww. Welcome to the site.

As for your brake sensor, do your lights come on when you press the brake pedal, it not, switch is the likely cause.

bottom picture is the brake force regulator...could be the cause...

 

[moz4321]

the break lights do come on mate, although the previouse owner has done some dodgy work under ther , the switch on my car is a 2 pin not sure if its meant to be 4?
ill have to have a look at your car, may give me some ideas
Cheers moz

Nice to see another Chill on the forum! De-badging is always a good mod to start with especially the chill stickers, hope you get the faults sorted soon.

 

[moz4321]

are the chill stickers not embedded into the car paint work?
cheers moz

 

[markmeus]

Nope they come off real easily.

 

[moz4321]

ill have another look, im hoping the stickers havent been masked off and sprayed around
cheers moz

I had that problem with the one on my drivers side wing, had been masked round and resprayed, it still came off easily, but it left a ovel shaped line.

Have since got a new wing, so it's not a problem anymore!

cheers moz

even if they have, a bit of T-cut will help get the mark out

 

[moz4321]

hmm, hopefully its not the case because they do make the car look a lil tatty suppose i could put something else in place if it is the case tho cheers for post

[moz4321]

thanks moz
