Hi all,
I recently bought a VW Polo 55 reg 1.4 litre engine. It seems to run fine but I have encountered a few problems with the EPC light. The first time this happened I was sitting in stationary traffic the engine had been running for a while the gear was in neutral handbrake was also on and suddenly the EPC light turned on (it's always an amber colour) the car began to vibrate and then wouldn't run properly. By run properly I mean I couldn't drive it beyond 10mph and had to pull over. Every time I pull over I switch the engine off and then back on again and the EPC light goes and the car runs normally. It's just when the car is stationary for a while and the engine is running that this problem occurs. It's been topped with antifreeze/coolant and engine oil and the problem still occurs. Does anyone know why this may be? And how much I may have to pay to fix it? Also who should I see to have the problem resolved, a VW dealer or an independent garage?
Thanks in advance!
