I would have someone with a vagcom scan for error codes or take it to the dealer. Do you have any power lag/loss or anything else happening ?

Google the Touareg epc light.

Got it!
EPC= Electronic pedal control
Usually when this light comes on, it means it's a bad brake switch,
Thanks tregger

Urgh!... or maybe it's Electronic power control?

if the EPC light is on that means the Brake light swith is bad.

the switch controls the transmission so it will not hold the gears you will notice the car shift all the way to 6th gear when possible and not down shifting quickly when you touch the brakes.

The switch is under 10 dollars and you don't even need the VAG-COM to turn the light off. But if you want to erase the DTC's you will need one.

don't bother messing with the switch because it is not worth repairing and they are constantly being revised so just let your parts guy get you the most recent one available for you year vehicle.
