So I've noticed since I bought my golf that after about 10,000km it would have an occasional maybe once a month (if that)problem with hesitation. Couldn't figure out what was going on but everytime it happened I was starting to turn a corner from a standstill and not even giving it hard throttle. EPC light would turn on and Flash until I took my foot off the gas and stay on until I turn off the car even though the car would balance itself out and drive normal. Looking into some other threads I found guys mention it to be an issue with the shape of our fuel tank and running low on fuel which yes a couple of those times I was running around a 1/4 tank. Most recent time was last month when I was going in a straight line from an intersection with 1/2 a tank of gas and it hesitates and misfired hard as it would when the EPC light flashed the other times, so I let my foot off the gas for a second and put it back on and the car drove fine. I thought about taking it into the dealership but they want to charge me to do a full inspection on the car which I wasn't sure if that is normal when the car is still under warranty. Is it normal for them to charge $180 cad for an inspection before knowing whether or not its warranty related?
Any other ideas on what it could be?
