ESP fault on 2005 mk5 golf gti

(1/2) > >>

syncross:
Can anyone shed some light on a propblem which has recently occurred on my ESP system. Light is now on constantly and stability control is no longer working although ABS is fine. Might it be a switch or sensor problem? or am i potentially looking at a mechanical item (which i assume is costly)
Does anyone have any experience or can offer advice in this area.
Any info greatly appreciated.

id start with a VCDS scan mate to see what the fault is,

Cheers fella......car has been to garage and mecahnic has plugged in diagnostic system. He says that such a large number of fault codes has come up that he is unsure what to tackle first. He is going to try the ABS sensor first, seems like it is trial and error and this could be costly as the warrenty is just out.
Joined the forum in an attempt to identify known issues to hopefully save me some pennies.

v2brett:
ahh damn it always happens just out of warranty  :fighting:,sounds like a good place to start tho,  id try clearing the codes and rescan a few days later and see whats come back

john_o:
hello,

has anything changed recently ? Im surprised you have so many fault codes.
As others have said get it reset then allow it to happen again.

long shot could be a failing battery/altermator causing low voltage which has been known to give lots of unrelated fault codes   :happy2:
