Hi guys,
Having another weird problem with the car. I went on a 150 mile drive yesterday with no problems, travelling at about 60-70 mph on the motorway.
I had to make an overtake so I planted my foot, the car accelerated to about 80 then the ESP light flashed and cut all power for in instant, then was fine again. Same happened a few times whilst accelerating hard.
Now when I drive, even at 40, when I put my foot down, even very very lightly, the ESP is flashing like mad and cutting all power. If I turn it off, it's fine however.
Any ideas? :confused: :sad1: :sad1:
I've also attached a video.
Ps. Engine temp doesn't make a difference, it's still the same whether it's warm or cold... :(

Get a VCDS scan.... it could be a faulty abs sensor.

Does that point to the £1000 route? :scared:
ps. Turning ESP off sorts the problem

Not necessarily... if its just a faulty sensor the its a cheapish fix.
Get a scan and post it up.
