Help ESP light stays on.

[cossy]

Not sure which section to post on cause it relates to my 2006 VW Jetta 1.9TDI. Coming to work this morning the ESP light remained on.

Any ideas? it was okay last time I used the car.

Will check the ABS fuses lunch time at work but if they are okay Im stumped!

Any help much appreciated.

Cheers

It could be the dreaded Teves MK60 ESP problem, I suggest you get the fault code read using VAGCOM ect.

***t never heard of it before, how do I check if the car has this module? thanks.

Is there any harm driving around with this on? Not looking to sell it any time soon.

You have that module!   

Get the car scanned as it may just be a faulty abs sensor.

[cossy]

would it be worth buying a scanner(and which one) to scan this myself Cheap one obviously.

For a few beer tokens I'm sure someone from here will scan it for you.

Don't jump ahead of yourself, first get the car scanned then move on from there.

always think the worse!!

Was going to get my own scanner as VW want £80.

Would this one be okay and could I reset/switch off the warning light with it?

Norfolk/Suffolk border

Ahh, ok too far for me then

[cossy]

do you have VAG com?

Should of kept the 172CUP!

Its the dreaded ESP system, quoted between £1200 & £1500 beware all that use this system!!

On the plus side and after a bit of negotiation (Press Clippings etc etc) VW have agreed to pay for the part £700 plus vat and 50% of the labour to fit it.

Final bill to be £176.00,. Result I think especially as out of warranty by 9 months and I serviced it myself albeit using VW parts and kept the receipt.

Well happy could of been a lot worse.
