Hello .not used the car much due to lockdown but coming back from a short drive [about 12 miles ] my EPC light came on and stayed on all the way home ..i stopped and restarted the engine the light went out and up to now as not come back on even after a week of taking the car out for a run every day , i contacted Seat uk to ask for advice on this but they were unable to assist only said to take it to my dealer for checking out but i cant do that as the garage is closed due to lockdown . can anyone offer any advice on why my EPC light came on and why now it appears to have corrected itself .

thank you

The Epc or engine malfunction light, covers a multitude of different faults recognised by the engine control unit . Without suitable diagnostic kit, there is no way of finding out what fault has been logged. If it's running ok now ,just keep an eye on it . Was it low on fuel?
