Help please!
« on: 30 December 2008, 17:00 »
I've got the ESP warning light and Tyre pressure warning light illuminated on the dash at the same time, the ESP switch in front of the gearstick is mon-responsive and is stuck in the off position, as is the tyre pressure re-set switch.
I've tried re-setting everything, and searched for answers on the net but thrown up a blank!
Any ideas what it could be? initial thoughts were maybe a wheel speed sensor?

D'oh! I've just come though Stockport about 2 hours ago, in fact it happened in that area whilst on the M60! Thanks for the offer, I may take you up on it.

I was thinkin that, and would put my money on it, because the traction control, tyre sensor and ABS all work from the same sensor so it would add up. You just need VAG-com to tell you which one it is. I had this on my old shape S3, they were cheap at about 20quid and easy enough to change :smiley:
Revo stg2+ & lots more

Cheers for all the info guys, lets just hope its a wheel sensor with it being out of warranty!
