EPC Light and brake light out


Recommended Posts

hi guys

EPC light came on the other day plugged it into vagcom which had a brake light or switch failure fault coming up

looked at brake lights and spoiler brake light isnt coming on is this likely to be the culprit?

is it a case of replace the brake light and reset the EPC light and its sorted??

More likely that the pedal switch needs replacing, not that difficult to do.

i changed mine and the light reset itself, bought it from vw for about £10, its located on top of the brake pedal with a four pin connector in it and its just a twist out connection. If your lights still on it might be worth plugging your car in?

ive had a new brake switch put in and the fault cleared and the fault came straight back brake sensor

im taking it back in on Wednesday as he's going to try another brake switch as it could be a faulty part and also replace the spoiler brake light as its still not working after the switch change

however i wouldnt think a out brake light would bring up an EPC fault

Agghhh! I'm having exactly the same problem with my Lupo GTI! Replaced brake light switch and high level brakelight, reset the error code and EPC light has come back on again. Sounds too familiar! Has anyone got to the bottom of this?
