  2. EPC Light, No Power, P2101 Fault Code

    Hello! I have a Seat ibiza 6L 1,4 BBY engine and I've had an issue lately where the EPC light turns on suddenly when I start the engine with code P2101. The throttle works but only up to 2k RPM and the car seems to be in some form of weird limp mode I'm not sure. The moment I turn the engine off...

    Wiring problems or something more serious?

    My Seat has been off the road for almost 3 years and it's just had a cylinder head and head gasket repair which had no problems from the engine after it was done. A couple of weeks ago I was driving it and the rev meter was taking maybe a couple of seconds to get to 1500rpm then the turbo...

    Hi guys! New to this site... Need a little advice please. First of all, I know that the glow plug flashing light means your DPF needs a re-gen (I’ve had a few cars with this). However, I’ve now done FOUR re-gens and all seems fine until I re-start a couple of days later and the light is...
