VW Golf Mk 4 1.4 16V - EPC Warning Light followed by engine braking - Golfy64
Hi,
In the past few weeks, on 3 occasions, my EPC light has popped up on my dash, followed by my engine braking and coming to a halt. When I turn my car off and back on, the light has gone out and I can carry on as normal. I've just had a full service and nothing obvious has been picked up, as well as having my brake lights checked.
Am I right in thinking it could be to do with the brake light switch/sensor if the engine brake kicks in?

Brake light switch is a hot favourite here.Very common failure on VW models.It is a 2 stage switch ,one circuit for the brake lights and the other signals the engine control that the car is braking.
