Engine man light and ESP light

[vrswhite]

right quick question

My engine Managment light has been on for the last week (i'm getting it sorted when i can get to garage). The car has driven fine etc.

However tonight the esp light also came on and stayed on! whats that mean then?

It had gone off when i went back to the car, but was on all the way home!

As I understand it, the traction control is sometimes limited by the ECU when an engine fault is detected... so I would guess they are linked.

It might be the ABS modual with you getting both on?

VAG-COM will find it though

Any sign of the ABS light? If so, suspect a failed alternator.

Hi there!

From what i've read, the majority of the time this is a MAF sensor, bring it to the garage and get it hooked up to vagcom.

Please let me know if you find out what it is as we've had the same problem 5 times in the past year with no satisfactory answers and our engine light is on yet AGAIN!

I had my car less than a month and this happened, dealer hooked it up and discovered it was running lean so booked it in for inspection. New throttle body and 1 hose replaced and never had the problem since, all done on warranty fortunatley
