Don't know if EPC is similar to the ESP (Electronic Stability Program) in my A6, but if it is.....
*any* loss of traction or wheelspin will cause the system to pull throttle.
Any time I am pulling out into traffic on a wet road, or cornering agressively and using the throttle to control steering, it is mandatory that ESP be switched off.
IMHO it is too agressive in that it comes on with the slightest loss of traction, and then stays on for two or three seconds - just enough time to pull out into busy traffic and lose all power.
