HumbleMechanic Oh, I see. Well, due to strong regulations, we don't have that much of this here in Germany. For example you can't just use any part that fits, it has to have an operating permit (often for the exact make and model of the vehicle). That doesn't mean there aren't cheap parts that are useless, just that "real hack jobs" (like replacing the exhaust with a straight pipe right from the manifold, or putting any lights on the vehicle and so on) are very rare here, and they last 2 years at most, because after 2 years there's a mandatory safety ínspection for every vehicle, and they check everything. As soon as a dashboard light is on, it won't pass, and so on.

I've had the EPC light come on a couple weeks ago. The brake pedal switch was corroded (that's what the error code said), so we tried reworking it and it worked for a while, with the light coming on only a few times, but with a hard push on the brakes, it always went out again. But then it came on for good, so all I could do was to replace the switch. No biggy, a 12€ part and almost no tools required to replace it. But I keep asking myself: Where does the water come from that corroded the old switch that much??? I don't have any holes in my body, in fact it's practically rust-free, so how can a switch that sits by the pedals, on the inside of the car, under the dash, get wet and start to corrode??
