Sorry the car is skoda octavia mk2 Vrs 2.0 diesel dsg

Check your battery voltage. As it happened while driving it is more likely to be an alternator problem or poor connections, particularly earth cable joints from engine to body/battery.

 

 

@Robbie23 - I'm also thinking "low charge". Quick check would be that if the battery light doesn't come on with the ignition on and engine off, then you almost certainly  have a disconnected or broken alternator control wire.

Found the issue, the processor on ABS module is gone so need to change it, new or refurbished abs module. :doh:

Hi

I have a Skoda Octavia 2008 Model 1.9TDI PD AT facing the same issue like your mention below. Did replacing the ABS Module solve the issue?

 

ABS, ESP, GLOW plug light, check engine, and red (!),orange power steering  come up  on starting the engine  there after few miles on motorway, and speedometer is dead not showing speed as well and fuel gauge started to move around when brake or accelerate. steering wheel got stiffer. VCDS in diagnostic, showing that it is U0121 Lost Communication With Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Control Module but once the engine is back on it normal temperature it connects back the ESP Module and show Mechanical failure with abs sensor with front left wheel and rear both wheels. 

 

I also replaced the ESP Electronic Module leaving the Original Hydraulic Block with pump as it is but no change .that same error 

 

What could be the problem?

should i change complete ESP Module? or Check wiring

Another thing what i noticed is that after disconnecting the ESP Module Connector the fuel gauge starts fluctuating. Why does this happen? is it normal
