Post by: MikeGT on March 03, 2026, 06:09:06 pm

Hello! I own a 2008 Vw Golf 5 Gt sport 1.4 TSI 170hp. My car should have esp, but it doesent work. it wont show up in dashboard (neither will abs) when ignition on. when pressing and holding button nothing happends and when spinning nothing happends. what can be the fault??
-Abs works
-esp doesnt work
-no abs og esp light in dashboard
-no tape over logo
-no esp light when spinning or drifting.
-car came with esp

Wondering if the ABS unit has been replaced  or coded by a non- ESP unit in the past?

Are there any fault codes. The LED bulbs could have been permanently deleted.
