ESP fault? VCDS stuff attached

[Scott_GT_TDI]

Hi guys, I hope someone can help me / put my mind at rest.

I bought my 56 plate GT TDI 170 just under a month ago and the warranty from the supplying garage is about to run out. I also purchased a 2 year 3rd party warranty but would prefer to use the supplying garage first if I need to.

I just got my VCDS lead today from Gendan and had a wee shot of it this afternoon with the following results :-

Now, I have NO ESP warning light on the dashboard but it is showing a fault on vcds

What is going on? is it a historical fault that has already been fixed but not cleared? The ESP light does not come on when I press the ESP button near the ashtray, nor does any kind of button illumination happen.

Also any other help with the other faults would be cool if you can.

Thanks in advance,

Scott

Do the 'ABS' and 'ESP' symbols light up when you start the car? They should, and they go off after a few seconds. Then when you try to turn the car on, the lights come back on and go off when the car has started.

If they don't light up, it sounds like you've been sold a car with a dodgy ABS pump.

[Scott_GT_TDI]

Is that the most likely thing? Surely if its faulty then some sort of light should come on on the instruments?

I'm worrying that this is going to cost a packet :(

[Phil Miller]

Now i dont want to worry you but i know of car dealers who remove the cluster and use black silicon on and around the ABS or ESP or ECU light so even tho its lite up you cant see it because its full of silicon

[Scott_GT_TDI]

Well when I was messing about with VCDS in the abs section and went onto the wheel speed sensor bit to check they were all working, the abs light came on whilst I was in that module so I guess that hasnt happened, the dealership I bought it from has an incredibly good reputation so I cant see that happening, fingers crossed. Should the ESP button light up when I press it?

Right when you turn the ign key on the ESP and ABS should light up, when started they should both go off, when you press the ESP button the word ESP OFF will light up on the button and the ESP light will come on on the cluster, as your ABS light comes on when you go in to the ABS that should be fine
At no point did i say the garage you got the car from has done it (if it has been done) anyone could have done it, and the mileage on the car is good, im prob wrong but ive come across this loads of times over the years

[Scott_GT_TDI]

Right, the ABS light comes on and goes out, but the ESP light does not come on at all. I am struggling to find any similar issues using the search facility on here.

normally if there is a fault with the ESP the light will be on all the time, yours not coming on at all is a bit of a worry, what happens when you press the ESP button? if you try can you spin the wheels? if you can spin the wheels then your ESP isnt working as it should be, try doing this and then again after pressing the esp button

about a yr ago i somehow managed to put my ESP in to a program mode, the light was on all the time and the button didnt do anything, i finished the re programming and the light went out, now it could be the ABS is spot on and the esp is at fault, if you wanna find out take your dash out take the back off it and see if the ESP hole is full of silicon, would make sense TBH

[Scott_GT_TDI]

I can deffinately spin my wheels, thats what made me concerned about a possible problem.

[Eddie-NL]

You have a faulty ABS pump, someone has tinkered to hide it.

[Scott_GT_TDI]

Is that 100% certain Eddie? as I do not want to go in with my size 12's on to then look like an idiot lol. Any ideas on what I should say to them? If this is the case, then I am going to be incredibly annoyed 

[Eddie-NL]

try to Clear the fault, if you can't or it comes straight back.

Go and see them, there obviously is a fault in the system

[gillm]

g201 is a dead pump . been there done that

[gillm]

and i have a spare pm me if needed

[Scott_GT_TDI]

Gillm, did you have to pay yourself? was it expensive?
