ESP light wont go off,
« on: 12 June 2012, 20:15 »
The ESP light on the dash has lit up and wont go out when the button is pressed,
Also the emissions system light came on about the same time,

Anyone got any ideas?

Its a mk4 03 gti turbo.

No idea but exactly the same thing happened to me the day after my remap. Driving to the cinema traction control light came on and wouldnt go off. Scanned it and the code was for the MAF. Got one from vw and Its been fine since  :smiley:
