Luppy Jack Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Lupo's are quite notorious for having failing coilpacks so could be worth a check, however i'd have thought it would have given a fault code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Also worth noting there were 2 lambda probes on my Arosa.But I second getting the coil packs checked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fretwell Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 It appears you failed to prepare when buying your lupo so prepare to fail or get a vagcom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lindylou Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 Hi EPC warning light stands for electronic pedal control loads of us have thought it was about the engine but it refers to the brake pedal and spring that is activated when you depress pedal when the warning light is on check and you will find your brake lights dont come on this is usually cured bylubricating spring. hope this helps with part of your problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
