EPC light, Loss of power
Hey guys I was just wondering if someone could help me out with something. I live about 2 hours away from my nearest VW dealer. Any suggestions on what to look for when looking for a repair shop for VWs?
So the other week my check engine light came on followed by the EPC light. Both lights were off at the time when suddenly, while accelerating, I lost all engine power for about half a second. The car almost wants to stop dead in its tracks. But then the car is fine again. The light comes on and off now but I will experience one of those power loss moments about twice an hour. I have quite a drive to get this looked at by VW so I am just wondering if anyone knows maybe what the problem could be? I have no way home after dropping the car off so it would be nice to kind of know what the possible damage is and how long I will need to leave it there for.
Thanks Champs!

Welcome to the forum.
Well there is no point in guessing as there can be many causes you need to finding someone with VAG-COM\VCDS to do an Auto-Scan to see if any error codes come back.
