On Sunday {past|previous}, {whilst|while} taking my {family|household} for a drive {along|alongside} our scenic coastline on the Western Cape, I {happened|occurred} to see no {less than|lower than} three Volkswagen {cars|automobiles|vehicles}, {each|every} being loaded onto a roll-{back|again}. A VW Polo Vivo in Muizenberg, an Audi S4 in Fish Hoek and a VW Scirocco in Scarborough. {I couldn't|I could not} {help|assist} {but|however} {feel|really feel} awkward about {my own|my very own} Volkswagen Polo {because|as a result of} {after all|in any case|in spite of everything}, three out of three {vehicles|automobiles|autos} on the roll-backs {were|had been|have been} Volkswagen manufactured {cars|automobiles|vehicles}. {I would|I might|I'd} have felt {loads|hundreds|masses} {better|higher} if {at least|a minimum of|at the least|at the very least|no less than|not less than} {one of|certainly one of|considered one of|one among|one in all|one in every of} them {were|had been|have been} a Toyota or a Ford or a Honda. Understandable there are {a lot more|much more} Volkswagen {vehicles|automobiles|autos} on the {road|highway|street} than {any other|another|every other|some other} make, {hence|therefore} {the higher|the upper} failure {rate|charge|fee|price}. However, I instinctively pulled over for a chat with the driver of the Scirocco to inquire about {the problem|the issue}. It's {owner|proprietor} Gwendaline. apparently parked her {car|automobile|automotive} to go for a {walk|stroll} on the {beach|seashore|seaside} and when she returned, had {difficulty|issue|problem} in {starting|beginning} her {car|automobile|automotive}.
When it {finally|lastly} {started|began} , {the whole|the entire} {car|automobile|automotive} shook like her washing machine does in its spins cycle. {According to|Based on|In accordance with|In keeping with|In line with|In response to} her, the Scirocco {is really|is absolutely|is actually|is admittedly|is basically|is de facto} {an excellent|a superb|a wonderful} {car|automobile|automotive} with {very few|only a few} {issues|points} {other than|apart from|aside from} {regular|common} EPC {light|gentle|mild} {issues|points}; and that its 18 inches tyres are a bit {expensive|costly}. So we {started|began} {talking|speaking} {about the|concerning the|in regards to the} EPC - Electronic Power Control and she {seems|appears} {really|actually} knowlegeable about it. Our {conversation|dialog} went {something|one thing} like this. The EPC warning {light|gentle|mild}, is {just|simply} an indicator {light|gentle|mild} powered by the Electronic Power Control circuit. Most {people are|individuals are|persons are} {under|below|beneath|underneath} the impression that it {indicates|signifies} {that there is|that there's} {something|one thing} {wrong|fallacious|flawed|improper|incorrect|mistaken|unsuitable} with the engine when it {light|gentle|mild} up. But {this is not|this isn't} {exactly the|precisely the} case, {because|as a result of} the EPC {light|gentle|mild} does come on when a brake {light|gentle|mild} is fused or the {fuel|gas|gasoline} tank cap {isn't|is not} {properly|correctly} closed. When The EPC warning {light|gentle|mild} flashes or stays on, it merely alerts the driver to {a problem|an issue} {that may|that will|which will} exists in your Volkswagen's throttle system.
The throttle system encompasses the throttle {body|physique}, the throttle {control|management} motor, the accelerator pedal, the drive-by-wire electronics, the traction {control|management}, the cruise {control|management}, the stability {control|management}, the {fuel|gas|gasoline} {delivery|supply} system and even the braking system and all their sensors, {etc|and many others|and so forth|and so on}.. What does it {mean|imply} when the EPC warning {light|gentle|mild} turns on in a Volkswagen? The throttle {body|physique} motor opens and closes the butterfly valve {located|positioned|situated} on the intake manifold which regulates {the amount|the quantity} of air that goes into the engine, in relation to the {position|place} of the accelerator pedal. Implying {the higher|the upper} the air {flow|circulate|circulation|move|movement|stream} into the engine, the {more|extra} {fuel|gas|gasoline} the ECU injects, thereby {increasing|growing|rising} or {decreasing|lowering|reducing} {the power|the ability|the facility} output of the engine. When {a problem|an issue} is detected {in the|within the} throttle system, a {signal|sign} from {one of the|one of many} sensors triggers the ECU into illuminating the EPC warning {light|gentle|mild}. The Electronic Power Control (EPC) is {just|simply} {a part of|part of} the Engine Management System, which in {turn|flip} is {part of|a part of} {the overall|the general} On-Board Diagnostic II system. Normally when the {a problem|an issue} is detected that causes the EPC {light|gentle|mild} to turns on, it {also|additionally} sends fault codes to the dashboard module or gateway module, {vehicle|automobile|car} {model|mannequin} dependent.
These fault codes {can be|could be|may be|might be|will be} retrieved by an ODBII scanner / {smart|good|sensible} {phone|cellphone|telephone}, {which are|that are} key to isolating {the area|the realm|the world} of the throttle system that has failed. Most EPC {light|gentle|mild} and ESP {light|gentle|mild} {problems|issues} will {limit|restrict} your Volkswagen's output {power|energy}, {commonly|generally} {known as|generally known as|often called|often known as|referred to as} "limp mode". {It is|It's} advisable that when {either|both} the EPC or ESP lights {turn on|activate}, {the problem|the issue} {associated with|related to} {it be|it's|or not it's} repaired timeously. A Volkswagen in limp mode {should not be|shouldn't be} used to run errands, and {since the|because the|for the reason that} {car|automobile|automotive} has {sufficient|adequate|ample|enough} {power|energy} to drive it to dealership or mechanical {repair|restore} {shop|store}, {it is best|it's best} {to do so|to take action}. Normally {once|as soon as} the fault / {problem|downside|drawback} is remedied the EPC or ESP {light|gentle|mild} will {turn|flip} off. However, there are {hundreds|a whole bunch|a whole lot|lots of|tons of} if not {thousands|1000's|hundreds} of Volkswagen {owners|homeowners|house owners} {who have|who've} taken their Volkswagen {cars|automobiles|vehicles} into dealerships for {repair|restore}, {only|solely} to encounter {the same|the identical} EPC / ESP {problem|downside|drawback} a day or two later. {Some of|A few of} them {suffer|endure|undergo} with EPC {problems|issues} for months {and i|and that i} personally know of {someone|somebody} who had an EPC {problem|downside|drawback} for {more than|greater than} a {year|12 months|yr}. That's {enough|sufficient} to drive the sanest {person|individual|particular person} nuts. My W Polo {classic|basic|traditional} 2003 {model|mannequin}'s EPC {light|gentle|mild} is on and {there's no|there is no|there is not any|there isn't any} acceleration. My VW Jetta's dashboard {displays|shows} the {word|phrase} EPC, now it has no {power|energy}. My VW Golf diplay the letters Epc, what can I do? My VW Golf IV cluster {shows|exhibits|reveals} {both|each} epc and esp and it {won't|will not} revv up, nor go {more than|greater than} 70 km/h. My VW Sirocco 2017 {model|mannequin}'s epc {light|gentle|mild} has come on {again|once more}. My {car|automobile|automotive}'s EPC {light|gentle|mild} is on {and i|and that i} {don't know|do not know} what to do?
