when at a stand stil the epc warning light pops up when the traffic cleared abit I tried to put my foot down but there was no power what so ever. Should I take it to the 
Wow, what a coincidence!
I was just about to post the same thing but I'm a day and dealer trip ahead of you.
Yesterday my 1.4 FR TSI with a REVO map did exactly the same with the EPC light but the power came back a little. Took it to the garage this morn and they've just handed it back after charging me £70 and blaming it on low oil even though it was full 2 months ago! I know it does drink it but last time I had 7 months without a top up!
On the way home from the dealers the emissions control light came on but il need to test it on the way to work tomorrow morn.
If anyones got any advice on our similar problem that'd be awesome!

I have the feeling that my garage just charged me for oil because they couldn't decide on an actual problem. My revs came back after the trip to the garage although they said they only filled the oil. So, i'm going to take my usual 50 mile round trip tomorrow and see how it goes. I would say take it in as it's under warranty and hopefully your dealer will actually diagnose it! 
Wow sounds like your dealers actually care!
What a surprise as predicted, on the way home mine did exactly the same again this time with the emissions light and juddering, rang the dealers and they said "well we don't know whats wrong bring it in on Friday"! That would be fine if I didn't drive 50 miles every day!
I want my £70 back!
Let me know if yours has a diagnosis so I can do my garages job for them and tell what what to fix! lol

Hi Dean,
I got my Revo done in Northampton but I bought a SPS switch from them so before it goes in and ill down tune it to 150 bhp again. As I understand it the Revo code is invisible and doesn't show on the flash counter so they should never know. I havn't gone to the trouble of slapping Revo stickers all over my car and if they can't even diagnose a massive engine problem I feel pretty confident that they won't notice! lol Also if its the Revo causing the problem then I believe they will cover the repairs but I'm not 100% on that.

Awesome thanks mate. My stealers gave me a checkup call yesterday to see if I was satisfied with the level of service and as you can imagine I told the harsh truth and said it was poor. Mines going back in tomorrow morn and as they were so sorry they have magiced up a courtsey car!
Any info would be great as i'm still not sure if the'll find the problem.

Ive been getting this problem for a while now... epc + oil pressure light.
My car has had a new engine and new injectors plus whatever minor parts they have put in to try and solve the problem but still I have these lights come on and a lack of power, I got given my car by my dad for passing my test in july yet the car has been in 4 to 5 times now for a total of around 3 weeks. Recently there has been a smell of petrol inside the car when idling too through the air con and we have been to trading standards about these problems and the way we have been treated. Seat said they are not willing to accept the car back for these problems but the GM of Arnold Clark seat has spoke to my dad and he says he is personally going to see my car gets fixed once and for all, so if i find out what is wrong then ill post it on here to help you guys goodluck

Thanks Boc-Chris. That doesn't sound too happy! I'll recommend they have a look at the injectors first for sure and hope they can find something. Thanks for the info
