Volkswagen Sagitar displays EPC and battery symbols for the following reasons: Battery failure: The car can still operate normally when the battery indicator light is on because it can continue to use the electrical energy stored in the battery until the battery is depleted. Once depleted, no part of the car will function. When the battery indicator light is on, you can still drive the car to the garage, which will not damage any components. However, you must reach the garage before the battery is completely drained and the car stalls. Accessory failure: Reasons such as alternator failure, circuit failure, charging regulator failure, or loose components. It is recommended to use a testing instrument to check the alternator's charging capacity (with all electrical devices turned on). The minimum should be above 12.5V. Check the circuits related to the alternator and electrical devices. If the above checks are normal, it is recommended to replace the alternator assembly.

My Sagitar also had the EPC and battery symbols light up simultaneously before, which was quite annoying. Generally speaking, this combination of warning lights usually indicates a fault in the vehicle's electrical system or charging problem. EPC stands for Electronic Power Control signal abnormality, which could be caused by a dirty throttle or poor sensor contact; the battery symbol indicates that the alternator is not working properly or the battery is aging, failing to provide sufficient power to the system. At that time, I felt the car idling unsteadily on my way home and nearly stalled, fortunately not on the highway. I suggest you pull over immediately to check and avoid driving forcefully to prevent further engine damage. It's best to go to a professional shop as soon as possible to read the fault codes with a diagnostic tool. Such problems are quite common in Volkswagen models, especially after a few years of use. I had mine repaired once, spending some money on parts replacement, but early detection avoided bigger hidden dangers.

What are the disadvantages of the Honda EX125?

The disadvantages of the Honda EX125 are as follows: Severe vehicle vibration: First, there is the issue of idle vibration. After driving for a while and then stopping, the vehicle exhibits noticeable shaking. Some owners have reported that their bike is the only one shaking at a red light, which can be quite embarrassing. Secondly, when the vehicle reaches higher speeds, resonance becomes a problem. Typically, once the speed exceeds 60 km/h, the resonance becomes obvious, and prolonged riding can cause hand numbness. Slippery stock tires: This has become a common issue with most Honda scooters. While the tires offer decent grip on normal roads, they tend to slip easily when rolling over white lines like zebra crossings. If the speed is high, the risk of tipping over is significant, so extra caution is advised when driving a new bike. Dim lighting: Although the headlight design of the Honda EX125 is stylish and uses LED bulbs, the illumination performance is still unsatisfactory. While it’s manageable on urban roads due to sufficient street lighting, riding on rural roads at night can be challenging, as it becomes difficult to clearly see the road ahead.

What is the reason for the digital speed display disappearing on the Sagitar dashboard?

Main reasons are as follows: Light damage: The dashboard light is damaged and needs to be replaced promptly; Circuit damage: The power supply circuit of the dashboard is damaged, resulting in an open circuit or short circuit, which can also cause the dashboard to not light up; Fuse blown: If the power supply fuse of the car dashboard is blown, it naturally results in no power supply, and the dashboard will not light up. Precautions for using the car dashboard: When the indicator light comes on: Immediately observe the odometer. If the accumulated mileage reaches or exceeds 100,000 km, the timing belt must be replaced. Otherwise, the timing belt may break, causing the engine to malfunction. After replacing the new timing belt: Remove the rubber cap covering the reset switch on the odometer dial, press the reset switch inside with a small round stick to turn off the timing belt indicator light. If the indicator light does not turn off after operating the reset switch, it may be due to a malfunctioning reset switch or a grounded circuit, and the fault should be inspected and resolved.
