EPC and check engine lights been on for few days

Should I bring to workshop?

Funny thing is, the car automatically "healed" overnight

the check engine light will be off the next morning

so I assume it has no prob for the past few days

just kept driving it

then today while speeding until 180 kmh,

suddenly both EPC n check engine lights turned on,

whole car started to rattle like one dog

low gear especially creates big vibrations

have to go up to D6, D7 only can reduce the vibrations

What could possibly be the problem?

1.4 twin charger? Possible spark plug coil faulty or worse case engine kaput. My friend's golf 1.4 encountered these 2 before

If no more warranty just drive to nearest rubbish dump and leave it there

check your piston.. maybe crack..

yea that's what my frens told me also

what coilpack bs , worrying af
out of warranty long long time ago

smlj probs also come out

mechatronic bs

What to do? Poor man's sports car is like that, traded reliability for your speeding syok factor at such low cost, haha... You can buy how many Jaguar or Porsche at such price?

Get vagcom n diagnose ur self .... Than gogle error code

Have you tried jerking it off?

VW offer buy back. Want to try newer VW?

Or just push it off the cliff and claim total lost.

if you insured it for a fair amount... actually a viable solution.... just saying....

wow for such a pricey car and have this kind of case....

usually this kind of sensor is related to the engine heat..once the engine is warmed up and reach certain temperature, the sensor will be activated.

edited: epc is engine speed sensor.

Unrealiable so what?
It has the best looks ever on a hatchback
Jaguar , Porsche?
Got it all

din bother touching the car anymore



say NO to VW
only VW i would buy is the R



yes correct ! that's what I've been told !

Seems like a serious problem to me. Reliability isn't really a strong point for volkswagen.

get the OBD II bluetooth connector off Ebay - its like RM50 or less from China. Connect it and get the error code. Then google the error code. Never listen to wannabe 'sifus' from this forum. The error code is what matters, but looks like you have already got damage. Tow it to VW authorised dealer, and claim under warranty. VWs are too complex to be touched by anyone other than someone equipped with a very expensive diagnostic tool from VW. Something anyone buying a VW should know........

Change to forged piston and upgrade to stage 2. Why waste money on a new car.

OBD II Bluetooth reader is like 6 Dollars if you buy from aliexpress

What can he do with the error code? He still need to bring to workshop to fix. So may as well take to workshop now and let them diagnose the error. Since the car is no longer under warranty take to outside VW specialist instead of wasting time here listening to half-baked advice about buying an OBDII reader.

Thanks for the advice

unfortunately the engine has totally failed

either overhaul or engine rebuilt is the only way to resurrect the car which I don't plan to do.

Replacing it with a 6er

selling it away or letting it turn to scrap ?
