Epc light solid amber

Post by Rw@@dy » Sat Oct 11, 2014 5:02 pm

I recently had my master cylinder changed and the clutch also. It's now difficult to start and the epc light is on solid amber. I've changed both clutch switches also. Car is still difficult to start. It was fine before any of the work being complete. I've not got access to Vag Com right now so any ideas?

I replaced my lower clutch switch just for the sake of it and broke it as I put it in, then broke the old one as I put that one back so now I need another one. This has given me an EPC light permanently lit and I have to hold the starter button until the engine starts. Does yours start without keeping the button pressed?

Then it sounds like your lower switch is broken.

Well just been out in the car and it's cleared itself up! Epc light is off and starts on first press of the button! Happy days

I do at home. Actually think I have them in a pm. I'll take a look when I get a chance.
