Hi guys,

Im new to the forum i have a 57 plate 1.8T Ibiza Fr that ive been thinking about getting rid of but have decided to save.
Ive owned the car for 4 years and have had and on off issue with the epc and traction control light and the car going limp. Ive seen a few posts about the issue but im having trouble with mine as there seems to be no reason for the fault. It appears randomly and generally goes when the car is turned off and on again and may not come back for weeks. I have tried to get the car diagnosed by seat but my luck no signs of the problem when it was with them and they seemed more interested in selling me a new car. Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks

Welcome, seat seem to be shite at "trying" to fix faults like these(works ibiza courtesy car had a repeating eml light). Have you tried a Volkswagen or audi electical or coding specialist as they are keener to fix and get paid rather than seat trying to sell you an upgrade??

Not sure they were that interested with it been an older car to be honest. Had it tested at a local garage before and they couldnt diagnose the problem saying their diagnostics couldnt read the fault code. Problem im having is it seems totally random and runs fine just limp
