Driving down interstate with car running fine. Then in my 2003 VW Golf the EPC light began flashing and I lost power. What do I need to look for?

You need to have a scan of the engine done There are a number of problems that could cause those symptoms. Ask your repair shop how much they charge for the scan Our shop does them free, some shops charge. Get a copy of the scan results and have them clear the codes. Than ask for quotes on the repairs.

It sounds as if your vehicle may have severe water damage to the engine. The engine sensors on the golf are suseptable to water damage and can result in epc light that you are seeing on your dash, or so i was told by VW. I replaced all the sensors, alternator and the computer on my original engine, but this action didnt fix the problem. So i bit the bullet and replaced the engine, and haven't had a problem since. If you do the labor yourself it can be done as cheap as $4000. I hope this helps mate.

good luck

Brake light switch is what I'd look at. These are very problematic, there was a recall on a large number of Vw's for this reason. If this hasn't been done call a stealership and have them run your VIN# to see if your car falls under this recall. My 02' had the switch recalled TWICE in 3 years

Tell him to clean the electrical connector at the throttle body with 90% rubbing alcohol. He may want to use a nylon brush on the contact pins while cleaning. I'm pretty sure the car needs a throttle adaptation performed also. Find a shop with a Vag Com scanner, they can do it for you.

what is the epc light that comes on? What does epc stand for?

the cylinder head has warped. replacement is the solution.
