Don't know if its normal but I had a similar problem with mine.it turned out to be the dreaded "brake pressure sensor" problem. I got mine replaced free of charge from VW otherwise it would have cost me over £1k !

Check your tyre pressures and then reset the tyre pressure monitor. This should clear the pressure monitor light and then if the esp light still stays then you will know there is some other problem going on.

Yeah I've just up my tyre pressure as they were a bit low and the ESP light is still on I will have to take it to garage I bought it from as I still have a warranty on it
