Hello all, this is my first time posting in this community. However, I own a polo mk4 (aka 9N) and I’ve had the brake lights switched on unless I press the braking pedal about half the way down so I removed the brakes light switch the proper way after researching how and I adjusted manually that long plunger the way actually the lights turn on when I instantly press the braking pedal. That way actually safer instead of pushing half the way down so they lit up (during the heavy traffic they were usually won’t lit up since I’d press slightly the pedal) but now it’s working fine with my little adjustment. However I’ve got the EPC lit up on my dash. I tried erasing the fault codes of braking switch but it goes back after driving the car. Any help how to turn off the EPC light without readjusting the braking light switch ? Because I’m really satisfied with the new adjustment for security reasons. Thanks in advance. 

First welcome to the forum.

 

If the switch isn't adjusted to the OEM setup then you will always run the risk of setting the EPC light
