have a friend take you to autozone, they will let you borrow it if you give them your drivers license. then check your codes and return the vag-com.

chips in general are known to fry coil packs after its been installed, so that is probably it if i were to guess since you just got chipped.

EPC... Hrmm, had your car had trouble starting before? ANything else weird happen before it died. Alternator+dead battery, perhaps. Does the car turn over, or just click when you turn the key?

Not sure where you get your info from, but that is 100% incorrect.
EPC light relates to the DBW system and comes on when throtle cut occurs (normally). A throtle body adaptation might be the solution, but if your CEL is flashing, then its probably a coil pack or cracked spark plug insulator.

Maybe the program doesnt know how to handle the epc light and they didnt program it right? I dunno, ive been battling epc for a while before i bent a valve on my car [:@]
