Golf mk6 / Re: ESP FAULT
« Last post by Snoopy on 15 January 2026, 23:50 »
The clunk will more than likely be the pad unsticking from the disc. The caliper maybe sticking slightly and just needcleaning and regreasing. I have to do my Leon ones more or less every year as it lives outside in a wet and windy area.
 The fault code though maybe something else if it wouldn't let you move. A scan will give you more info. Most garages will have a scan tool and see what exact faults are stored.

My choice was £53470 in Tornado Red with diamond cut Estorils, PP and a sunroof. Lovely. Will just have to hope some sucker orders that combo and loses a shed load of cash after no miles so I can pick it up for a steal at 6 months old.

Watts, you had a TR GTI for a good few years. How much work does it need to keep it looking good? Is it durable?

It was great. I'm no detailer and yet it still looked fantastic most of the time. A deep glossy glow. On a nice day even if dirty it still looked good.

Got a couple of calls lined up in the next few days. Looking to order Tornado Red and PP including 19s. The low rate of interest has swung it for me possibly.

Good luck with the calls, I wonder how many cars have been allocated to dealers in this first round?

Cheers. I’ve asked both dealers that same question. Is there a presale then a general sale too?

My choice would be white or red with the PP option and the graphite warmenau

Can’t beat a white GTI and I’ve seen too many Tornado Pink VWs.

Shame we just get the leather steering wheel option in the UK.

Golf mk6 / ESP FAULT
« Last post by Norwichdaz on 15 January 2026, 18:15 »
As above really.

Tbf I was going to take car into a garage as last week or so has been sounding like a clunk when I set off after letting off the handbrake then for the first few brakes back left sounds like grinding noise but then goes away.

Was going to take it in to check over the caliper etc.

Then tonight I have the car with the squiggly lines lol come up and say esp fault, in the middle of traffic was great fun! The D on the auto was flashing and wouldnt let me move just rev. Didnt know what to do, turned off and on and I could move again.

Google says a sticky caliper could poss be the problem  to set this light etc off.

So have juat booked into a garage to have a look 😬

Just priced mine up, £53,950 Green Paint, Performance Pack

A Black Edition R in white with standard wheels and performance pack is £53,250 and as much as value the traction, think it would not be that hard of choice and it be the ED50 every time that select.

Going to do the lottery this weekend as really want one :)

Of course you can get it under £50k without performance pack, but think once you in on that money you may as well go whole hog and looking at all the Edition cars they all keep their price, you imagine an ED50 will still be knocking around £40's k three + years down road where Black Edition R will be in £30's
