doogal1972 Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 Quick question about ESP on my S3. Driving to work this morning I gave it a bit coming out of a roundabout and the ESP light came on and stayed on. I tried pushing the button to reset it but to no avail. Got to work and switched the engine off and then back on again and it reset itself. Anyone heard of that before? Is it a sign my ESP is faulty? Cheers in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gren Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 Never heard of that before. All I would suggest is don't worry unless it happens again. Then it's either find someone with Vag-Com or head off to the stealers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doogal1972 Posted November 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 I'll keep an eye on it, I want to avoid going anyway near a stealer. Probably another intermitant fault like my stereo that was turning itself on and off again at will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mastermofo Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 i sometimes have the same thing on my A3 - i dont think its a problem as it goes off after switching off the ignition and i do think that few other people have had same thing too on AS.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drillslinger Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 Actually if the ESP light stays lit, then there should be a fault code stored. While it's not a "Major" fault, still might be worth having checked out when convenient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doogal1972 Posted November 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 It's the first time it's done it, I'll keep an eye on the situation but I would like to avoid stealers if I can. If it rears it's ugly head again I'll have to go visit the crooks at Audi! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drillslinger Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 Yeah, the light you REALLY want to avoid is the flashing "Engine" one Seen THAT one a few too many times myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motormouth Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Got this is mine, but it keeps comming on, then switch off engine it goes away, 20mins later its back, did you ever find out what it was ? Just googled it, would an ESP sensor if fecked be expensive ? Am I safe to drive it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 as per other thread, best get a diagnostic scan. No point just replacing stuff, if you can get it confirmed whats wrong, and fix the right part first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
