rainingdatsuncogs Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 Hi all, I have got the ESP and ABS lights coming up on my dash. My local garage plugged in his snap-on scanner and told me something about a steering angle sensor warning but he can't get in to switch the light off. Will VAG COM be any good for me and is the software and cable off ebay the right thing to buy? Please some advice? I am in Mid Wales, is there another tyre smoke forum member nearby? All the best, rainingdatsuncogs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xaddiction Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Vag com will read the codes, I had the same issue on an a6 and it turned out to be a dead abs sensor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pontyslapper Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 (edited) Try the following things first! 1. Check the brake lights on your car - had this on mine and one of the bulbs was flapping about and causing a bad contact thus forcing the christmas lights on the dash. 2. Check the brake light actuator switch under the pedals - again, after I'd sorted the bulbs the fault was still happening - the actuator is under the pedals - I added to a guide way back when over on VWVortex http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?1158315-DIY-Installing-a-new-brake-light-switch-(without-breaking-it!)
