That's all I need! Bloody cars.

Thanks for the info

As you can see here: http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/153853-honest-johns-take-on-esp-problems/,the ESP problem is a known problem in some Mk 60 ABS/ESP control modules.

You can see more in the post I mentioned earlier and in the "What's bad" section of the Skoda Octavia review on the Honest John site: http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/skoda/octavia-2004/?section=bad

 

22-1-2011: If ESP/ABS amber warning light comes on intermittently and will not re-set, you might not actually have the ATE Teves Mk 60 ABS/ESP problem. First check circuits and start at the ABS fuse and holder (no 9 on a Golf, on scuttle edge by driver door). Pull it out, have a look and if okay replace it. The warning light may then go out. Sometimes they slip out a bit and become wobbly, which is enough to set off the warning. See Skoda policy on this above.

ESP warning light can indicate Fault Code "Boost Pressure Sensor G201". This is embedded inside Teves Mk 60 ABS systems and requires replacement of ABS control unit/pump. Seems to be age-related, occurring mainly in 3 - 5 year old cars. Does not necessarily lead to an MoT failure. More on the problem and independent rebuilds of the unit at: BBA Reman or ECU Testing.

9-6-2011: Statement from Skoda re ECU change of policy: “A repair kit is available for ABS modules that is applicable in many cases. We encourage its use to minimise the cost of repair and our retailers have access to all the information necessary to determine whether the repair kit can be applied. We have published very specific guidelines to the Skoda retailer network on what goodwill is available for the repair or replacement of ABS modules for Octavia models fitted with ESP. Any customers who have concerns should contact their Skoda retailer, who can contact Skoda Customer Services should they require further assistance.”

Cheers for that, I'll have a read up.

I have put it in to Rosstech aswell now and that's brought up a few things to check. Hopefully it'll be a cheap fix.
