EPC warning light in my 2022 Skoda Kodiaq!

I switched from Shell V-Power to regular petrol and the EPC warning light came on.

BHPian pk1972 recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

I took my new Kodiaq for a spin today. I had filled V-Power from Shell when I took delivery. On the highway near Bengaluru today, filled 10-litres of regular petrol at Shell as they did not have V-Power. 2 minutes into the drive I have the EPC warning.

What does this mean?

Here's what BHPian EaurougeatSpa had to say on the matter:

Would be better to check with the service centre. Looks like the same issue with the Kushaq.

Multiple people have said that using petrol with additives might be an issue. There is a thread on RON95 fuel.

Here's what BHPian adi_petrolhead had to say on the matter:

I had an issue with my Octavia, within the first 500 km, just like you have encountered and it was due to Shell petrol. Shell normal petrol also comes with additives, to which these systems are extremely sensitive. Stick to XP95 from a reputed IOCL bunk and you should be fine. Recommend emptying the tank at the workshop, and they might want to replace the fuel pump too perhaps if the error keeps coming back. Please report back as to what did the dealership tell you post-diagnosis. Did the car go into "limp home" mode after the EML turned on?

Here's what BHPian Jangra had to say on the matter:

Sorry to hear about this issue and your inconvenience.

Wonder how bad the quality of petrol would be for this to happen. Knowing this engine has been around for quite some time and I have not seen posts of the EPC issues, wonder why this occurred.
