ABS/ESP Problem
« on: November 02, 2010, 01:09:25 pm »
Hi all,

Been looking at mk5 Golf GTIs (mainly 2005-2007) and have come across the problem with the ABS pump where the ESP light stays on. From what I've read on other forums it can cost up to £1400 to sort, so would rather know if a car I'm looking at has had it done or not. Is this something that VW dealers will hold (I know that will only tell me if it's been done at a VW dealer and not at an independant). Do the later model mk5's (2008) have the same problem? It's the only thing that's really putting me off buying one!

Cheers  :smiley:

some of the early gti's did suther from this problem..as you say it can cost £1400 from the dealers to sort out..If it has been replaced by them  they will have a record of it been done
