    EPC

    I have noticed also some other things which I failed to make you aware on the first posts. As you know I had EngineCheck appear on the dashboard, which turned out to be the spark plugs Which was replaced. But occasionally it does sound like its misfiring As you get the long motor noise in reoccuring rev sounds rather than a constant sound. Whilst the EPC light came on and the car was stationary at the red lights The rev meter was slightly moving up and down The movement was approx 150 revs movement up and down 1/4 of the way between 500revs and 1000 revs, constantly moving up and down gently 1/4 of a way between 500-1000 revs Thing is I thought that would be due to the misfiring Now I havent taken immediate action about this because the car only misfires every now and then its not constant either and the leads and sparkplugs were replaced recently Next week I have booked into Quick Fit to have a break and tyre check on the car so I will take it back to the car dealership to try get this solved once and for all

    EPC

    Ok people. I would like to say I am new to this site since I have only just bought a X-reg Lupo in the last 3 weeks. But the garage did not have the manual to the car, So I have registered incase I have some questions about the car. First off. Used to have a Black Rover 214 SEI 1.4 16V, was beatiful, Lowered suspension, half leathers, redashed to have a rover 25 dashboard instread of the standard Rover 200 series mahogany old granny look, Blacked out windows, silver wipers and spoiler on the back and a Performance Air Filter for maximum BHP. But it was an M reg (1995) and started to show its age with having to constantly buy new parts for it. So it started to be a little nightmare. Girlfriend hated it, saying it was a chav's car * Which I didnt agree to I thought it was a beauty Any how, one day couldnt get to work as battery was flat and I had enough of having to keep getting new things. So I went and bought a newer car (The X reg Lupo) Now the girl-friend loves it, I preffer the WV Polo's as they have a little more shape to them and a little bit sportier / bigger (No pun intended to the Lupo lovers, please remember that I come from driving a big sporty looking car). Now I love golf's but considering each car is 1.4 (now my old car was a 1.4 but considering the insurance was 92.00 a month after 1 yrs no claims and I took out a loan to buy the lupo I didnt fancy paying the same out and have to pay back a loan So I bought a 1ltr Lupo (Save on insurance and save on petrol use, Get loan payed back ASAP) But a week after buying it I got Engine Check show up on the dashboard lights, Ok is it oil? No all ok there, water levels fine. So I take it back to the garage Spark plugs - which they replaced free of charge Now it shows EPC. But as I dont have the manual im like WTF does that mean Electronic Programming Controler, Electronic ? Cooling, Engine ? Cooling so on so on So I thought Id check the net for keywords "EPC and Lupo" and this site was the first results I got. Not I believe its something to do with the brakes? Wouldnt suprise me as they do seem worn, but is it the lights or the break lights it self As I had to have them fit a light in for me the 1st day But I seem to notice it come on only in the last 2 days and the light only shows when in lower gears Any suggestions from the Lupo lovers and techs out there PS Be interested in seing some mods you have done but I cant say I will be doing any mods on this car
