Failed when driving and OBD light remains on SolvedSolved

Volkswagen Fox 2012  42000 miles
Good night, everyone. It's been two months since I bought my Fox and I've had no problems until today. I went to pick up my wife, parked the car, started it back and, after two blocks, it felt as if it were about to stall, being left at 3 cylinders. At that moment, the OBD light turned on, the one that has to do with gas emissions. I turned the car off and started it again, but it kept failing until, suddenly, it recovered by itself and started working properly again. However, the light indicator was still turned on. Some hours later, I started the car without any problems, it regulated normal… Read complete

Thank you very much, Boetius. I wanted to share with everyone that I took my car to be scanned and the scanner indicated a failure in the coil and spark. The first thing the mechanic tried was changing wires and spark plugs, but it was not enough and the failure was still indicated. After replacing the coil, the problem was luckily solved. Hope it helps someone out there.

EPC and OBD/LIM indicators SolvedSolved

Volkswagen Fox 2010  32000 miles
When placing the key in the ignition, the EPC light indicator on the dashboard remains turned on, as well as another that is a little engine drawing. When starting the engine, they turn off and do not appear again. Is it normal or should I worry? Can anyone check if this happens in your own car please? I would appreciate your help.

Hello, I searched what you asked and it is normal that the indicators turn on when the key is in the ignition. They are indicating that they work in case the car fails. If it happened to you that they do not turn on, you have to know that the light is damaged and needs to be replaced, or else you won't know when the engine is failing.

Hi, Alfy52, it is normal that the indicators turn on when the engine is not yet working, because the computer and the dashboard are not receiving the information from the unit working. That is why they remain turned on until you start the engine, when they disappear. Hope it helps.

Doors filled with water

Volkswagen Fox 2009
Good afternoon. When it rains, both rear doors are filled with water, even though being closed. Another problem is that the left door creaks considerably, and I have already tried greasing it with different products, without any positive result. Even more, the EPC indicator recently appeared on the dashboard. What can I do?

Your doors are filled with water because its drainage on the bottom is blocked with dust. The drainage has got some rubbers that work as valves; try stretching them softly and cleaning the little holes. Hope it helps.
