Re: EPC light and check engine warning

Never bothered updating this sorry...

Throttle body sensor needed reset, dealers done it and it was working fine. It did take them a while to work it out after several code clearings and test drives but it got sorted in the end. Hopefully this can help save everyone a bit of time and money!

Gave my dealers a ring and they have it booked in after the new year :/. Best he could do. So she will be off the road over xmas when I need it most :...

Re: EPC light and check engine warning

Thanks for the quick reply. It hasn't used a drop of oil before or after the service. Checked it this morning and it was fine. Had a listen to under the bonnet and there is a sort of whirly rubbing sound when it is ticking over. I can hear this with the bonnet down. I haven't heard it doing this bef...

EPC light and check engine warning

Hello. I've had my TSI for 6 months now and no real problems at all with it. Last week though when I was driving in heavy traffic, the EPC light and CEL popped up. I saw the rpm started to fluctuate and drop to around 500rpm. I wasn't sure what it was, so I turned it off and on again to see if it wo...

Re: Candy white. Co Antrim northern Ireland

Lovely car mate! I'll keep an eye out for you if you're the southern end of antrim. I'm from Belfast myself and rarely up north! Lugano's look amazing!

I didn't realise that TT were doing TSI remaps now, the mate told me they weren't! I never thought of ringing them when I got the car.

Re: Smyffalis' Rising Blue TSI

It's around 52 bhp gain, unsure about torque but it pulls better. Got it when it was on offer. I keep meaning to switch to unmapped to remember how it is std. Pics aren't of it lowered, haven't had the chance to get some I will over the next week I hope and post them here! With springs, it handles g...

2.0 TSI MPG

Not bad! I've averaged 30.1mpg over 4600 miles :( this includes a lot of commuting. I usually get 42mpg on my work run sticking to 60mph. The rest of the time I like to use sport mode or tip and make it fart :D

Fuel leak

Thanks for the replies. Got speaking to the dealer today, dropped it off this morning. Thought I would leave an update in case others have the same issue. It was the fuel filter which was causing the leak. They traced it back there quite quickly and have ordered the part to get fitted in the morning...

Hello I have owned my TSI for 3 months now and I love every minute of it. The past few days my friends and I have smelt a strong smell of petrol off her after parking up. Today I noticed a small pool of fuel and a leak coming from the rear offside of the car. I have taken a picture of we're the leak...
