anyone have any ideas what causes the yellow light beside the headlights one ( cant remember now but theres 3 letters on it) - anyone have any problems with it before? Is it serious? any chance it could be to do with low oil level?

thanks

get someone with vagcom to have a looksie, could be an easy fix or something more serious.

just checked its the "EPC" light , i dont have the book with the car so if anyone knows what this covers??? Im nearly sure its low oil level or something to do with the oil as i topped up and its been going on and off rather than staying on

 

[cordobabrendy]

excess pollution light, it could be that youve bucked too much oil in and its sending the lambda doo lally!

I've done a search for EPC, and came back with a few people posting problems with the light, one was a clutch sensor on the clutch pedal, and the other was resolved by topping up with oil.

I suppose only Vag-Com will give you the correct error codes to tell where the problem is.

Have you checked your oil level on the dipstick, usually a good place to start ?

EPC lite can be a thousand probs,,, MAP, lean or rich mixture and god know how many more,,,
you deffo need a scan with vagcom,,,
