I am having.... been having the exact problems with my jetta 1.8T. I am tired of going back and forth to the dealer and repair shops. Can someone please help

did the fuel injection work for anyone.

Please help, I need to sell this car or repair it!

Same symptoms as everyone EPC light comes on, lose of power, problems starting it until it finally starts. The ARS light comes on too. It reves... goodness am tired of this plus its dangerous loosing power on the interstate.

But sometimes the car will run perfect especially when all the codes are reset - the car drives like new. What to do?

Re: EPC Light on 2001 VW Jetta??	Sign In

all sorts of codes and it seems each time some are different. Sorry I do not have the codes

but seriously it got to a point i went to the mech and all he did was reset them for free and I was driving perfect.

then after like putting 50 miles the EPC comes on and I loose power while driving 75mph on the interstate

can an engine oil sluge cause this?
