JamesU Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Mods would make your insurance go up mate, 100% sure of that. Unless its direct line and therefore you're not allowed mods until you're 25!!EPC light is on in the dash, i was going to mention something but i dont own a lupo so i didnt wanna look like a pratt!One is probably for the handbrake being on? Other for seatbelt? Or maybe the temp of the car if its just been turned on a second before the photo?Seriously HPI's are awesome - I regularly check on my old cars - I had a ****in awesome mk3 Polo GT - White - slammed - full DTM Scorpian decatted exhaust - was well rapid.

Shteee Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 One is handbrake other is because the boot is open. There are hundreds of reasons that the EPC could be on so first of all you would need to get it VAG-Com'd to diagnose the problem and then get it fixed. If it had just had the ignition turned on then there would be other lights that came on but then all would subsequently turn off. This one has stayed on so there is a problem somewhere. I dont know much about faults and fault codes so i dont have a clue at what it could be. Fact is something is wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz_Kez Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 somehow optional mods did nothing..quinn direct seems to be the cheapest you rang them?prices seem to differ loads online compared to the phoneteleyour insurance will go up lots with quinn direct after you've passed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shteee Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 You should always ring the insurance company after you have got a quote online just to verify all the details etc. The smallest thing can invalidate insurance nowadays which means that although your thought you were covered when you do find that ditch and they dont pay out because of X, Y or Z then your going to cry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
