EPC light 2013 golf r help

[shanepie3247]

I turned my car on yesterday and got an epc light and car went into limp mode. Completely stock 110k miles this is the first time its happened. I turned it off then back on again and the light went out but the car still isnt running right. It feels like the turbo is not creating or holding boost correctly.

Just from reading other threads it seems to me that it could be the wastegate being stuck or a loose hose. I am going to check later today all my hoses and make sure everything is tight. Does anyone have any idea what it is? Fingers crossed I dont have to replace the turbo but I am not optimistic lol

I have a GOLF R MK 7.
Just had the EPC light come on when accelerating from standstill. Car stuttered and jerked, felt like loosing power before picking up, i wasnt even accelerating that hard. I have a JB4 otherwise no mods. Any recommendations?
The spark plugs were changes a few months ago and the light disappeared when engine restarted. However do notice sputtering at times when accelerating.?
Thank you

An EPC light will always reset when you restart the car. If it continues to happen get it diagnosed.
