Golf Mk5 GTI EPC and Traction Control warnings when in CC
Hi Team,
Looking for anyone with a familiar experience and possible solutions.
Today I was cruising along the freeway in a 70 zone with the cruise control on driving happily after a DSG reset by gav and a new Timing Belt, water pump and service when suddenly the car fell into limp mode and threw an EPC and traction control warning light up on the dashboard.
After some testing, it appears to only happen when the car is attempting to hold speed or accelerate up a hill and is in low revs with the cruise control running the accelerator.
It doesnt happen with I am controlling the pedal at similar revs and seems to be isolated to when the Cruise is on.
When I turn the car off and on, the traction control light dissapears and the EPC light remains, but the car drives fine until I use cruise on a hill again.
Has anyone had this experience before? Have done some reading and apparently could be a boost leak issue, but open to any ideas.
Cheers
