2002 VW Golf EPC light
I recently bought my VW and have been trying to find out why this EPC light is on in my Tach guage. I bought a repair manual that does not even mention it. The dealer over the phone said I would have to bring it in as he did not know, ya right. I dont experience any problem associated with this light. Everything seems tip top, lots of power, lights work blah blah. It is very hot here right now but the temp guage reads halfway, regardless of how hard I push my car, and I have been testing it. Is this light for show or does it actually mean there is something worth investigating?

2002 VW Golf EPC light – Check your brake lights. Have someone stand behind your car when you brake. If they aren’t working, then it’s the brake light switch.
If they are working, then it may actually be an electronic powertrain control issue, and to determine the exact problem the ECU needs to be scanned (bringing in to dealer or finding someone with a scan tool).

2002 VW Golf EPC light – ok so it is the brake lights, Im going to pick up a switch from VW $17.50 I was thinking a fuse but they look like they’re in good shape. There are a few missing but I think thats because I have a budget model and don’t need to fill those slots.
Thanks man, for something so simple it sure was a pain in the arse.
