22 June, 2008 in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004) Share. Followers 0. 1.7k. Location: Ludlow Shropshire. Model: Skoda Fabia Mk2 - 3 1.9TDi and Skoda Fabia Mk3.5 1.0 TSI SEL. Year: 2009. Posted 22 June, 2008. I have had the EPC light come on, on my 1.6 Ambiente (101bhp) a couple of times, with a complete loss of power. The EPC light is indicating a problem with the electric power control, if the engine is not misfiring this will need attending to but can be driven to the next services. The general rule with dash lights is red don't drive, amber continue with caution. Once the car can be stopped it then turning off and on again may reset the light. This exclamation mark dashboard warning light will illuminate in red on the Skoda Octavia if the brake fluid level is low. Excessively low brake fluid levels can have a detrimental affect on the cars ability to brake. Replenish brake fluid to the correct levels. This warning symbol will also illuminate in red when the handbrake is applied. Largely because an independent isn’t bound by the parts supply and instruction that a dealer is. If Skoda don’t provide a repair kit (which they do for some turbos) then they can’t do it. And that maybe as simple as the manufacturer of the turbo won’t supply Skoda the individual parts, only complete warrantied units. 1. Throttle body issues. The throttle body is responsible for regulating the airflow into the engine. If the throttle body is dirty, damaged, or malfunctioning, it can cause the light to come on. 2. Sensor issues.

One of the most common problems in today’s cars (especially used ones) is the dreaded check engine light problem. Unlike other warning lights on the dashboard, which come up for a very solid reason ( low oil level, coolant level, etc), this is perhaps the only warning light that will come up if even the smallest malfunction occurs. 1) Bad Throttle Body. A bad throttle body is one of the major causes of the illuminated EPC light. The main function of the throttle body is to control the amount of air drawn into the engine when the accelerator pedal is depressed. Your vehicle’s EPC system uses the data of the throttle body to control engine performance. Your car uses an electronic throttle pedal in conjunction with an electronic throttle body which regulates the air flow into the engine. The faults could be with the throttle pedal, throttle body, airflow or pressure sensor, brake light switch, brake light bulbs or anything else within the system. If there is a fault logged and the warning Quoted £254 (by Skoda) to change actuator, and £1333 to change Turbo c/w with actuator on a 1.2 tsi fabia. Went for expensive option as some reports that actuator fix not always successful. Some reports of people successfully freeing up wastegate using penetrating oil also. Note, depending on exact engine/turbo build, some actuators are Up next on tweaking the 2019 L&K Octavia's lights are its tail-lamp's reverse and turn indicators. This finally completes the light transformation on the tai
