Just came on when i was coming back from work just, car seems to be running perfectly normal, what could this possibly be?

thanks

EPC or Exhaust emission?

its a light with a picture of an engine block, then check written underneath it, hope tht helps.

Could be a number of things. Have you done anything like Clean you TB recently?

Hows the car running now?

hmm maybe one of the lambda sensors or something else in the exhaust system. Know any one with vag com?

nope havent cleaned my tb, seems to be running perfectly fine, i do know of someone with one, its a 30 min drive away thoughg, think this is safe to do so?

it should be ok. Get it scanned and let us know the error code

cool, thanks for the help guys, will let you know how i get on, wont be getting looked at till monday tho hope its not to costly, im saving every last penny atm so i can afford a gti the start of next year |

i had my engine light come on and when i read it in the hand book it said about something like the lambda or something to affect the emmissions coming out the car.......

luckily i found out wat mine was as soon as i looked int he engine bay.... doubt its the same as yours tho as my one was a spark plug lead was on the bottom bit of the engine where a kinda spark plug thing sticks out and it heat had melted through the rubber on the lead and was kinda cross wiring...... it went of on its own after a couple of days.... no probs since.

do u think there could be a possibility that the light coming on could be connected to the fact my brake light has gone?

EPC comes on for that not check

ah i see, cheers for the fast reply

no problemo had exactly that problem with my mates GTI this morning. New switch and the EPC light cleared

right just been and got it checked, ended up being the lambda sensor lol, i think the part is about £60 pus labour so, it could have been worse and its going to be ready by the end of the day

Did you phone the RAC in the end?
