As above, ESP light came on and stayed on while not doing anything silly.Fuses are ok, any ideas where next to look.

The ABS module will have died. you can get a repair kit. I will look for the link.

Unfortunately it is a common and expensive fault on VAG cars. Here is one thread, there are many more on this subject if you do a search.

Before assuming it's the ABS controller, I'd get the codes read; it may just be a wheel sensor.

Yes on my MK1 vRS with ESP (which I believe is same unit as MK2) light came on. In the end VAG-COM came up with front left ABS sensor. I checked it and the wiring was damaged. Sorted that and ESP light is off.

Good luck.

Thanks for the fast replies guys. Hoping it's a wheel sensor, but knowing my luck.....Will let you know soonest.

Yes good luck although that repair kit that has recently come out is a lot cheaper than a new module!

Presume from your dealer or TPS...

Back on the road today for a total of £580; £40 postage, £120 for removal and re-fitting and £420 for reconned/ upgraded unit from a crowd called ECU Testing Ltd. This has the edge on the £1400 ball-park figure from Skoda.

But the repair kit is only £129+vat??

Booked in to the local dealer next week. Skoda giving us 100% parts and 50% labour but wondering what the book time for replacing unit is? Thanks in advance
