The epc light came on whilst driving up the m6 on Sunday. It has come on few times since but intermittently. It’s not the type of journey the car is used to. No sign of any restricted running or limp mode. Hasn’t come on at all today driving locally. Took it my local garage today who plugged it into whatever they plug it into and no errors were recorded or faults found. Do I need to take it to an Audi dealer for a more accurate diagnosis? It’s a 2017 model with 30,000 on the clock. Thanks.

Cause could be a number of things. A good Audi/VW independent should have the right kit to diagnose the problem. An Audi dealer would probably want a big diagnostic fee before they will look at it. If it were mine I would live with it and see how it goes.

I would have thought that if the Epc light comes on with some regularity, then a fault code would be logged in a module somewhere. Did the garage do a scan of all electronic modules or just the engine.? Don't think you need an Audi dealer at this stage. What part of the country are you?

Thanks for replying. Not sure what tests they did to be honest or how sophisticated their equipment was. I assumed they’d just find a fault code. I’m in North Staffordshire.
