ESP ABS lights on intermittently

Featured Replies

Hello All, I hope you can help me with a really irritating fault I have with my 07 Octavia. The ESP, ABS (and pressure sensor indicator) all come on intermittently while driving. Sometimes they will stay on for a few minutes, other times it will be for the whole journey. My local garage plugged in the diagnostics machine and the fault it showed was with the nearside front abs sensor (intermittent) so they replaced it. Sure enough the lights came back on as soon as they took it out for a test drive so they then replaced the hub. The lights were out for a good 20 mins as I drove away then came on as I was driving down the motorway - straight line / no braking. I'm really at a loss as to what the issue could be and I'm desperate not to take it to a main dealer as I know it'll be another wedge of cash. Please help!!

The car has done 126k miles

Just an update to this for people with the same issue - took the car to my local main dealers after a few more days of lights going on and off. They diagnosed a faulty wiring loom from the abs sensor. Common problem apparently

Glad to hear you got it sorted
