esp and abs lights
« on: April 21, 2014, 10:27:56 pm »
Hi all, finally got me a golf mk5 but it seems to have an intermittent fault.  I can be driving along when suddenly the abs and esp lights illuminate on the dash...pressing the esp button does nothing and they disappear if i cut the ignition and restart.  The lights dont come on every journey....ideas please....read a common fault is the brake light switch....what do you think?

I think you need to get a vcds scan asap to pinpoint the issue.

VCDS would point the finger in the right direction.

Are you stock or tuned? What stage?

Any power loss?

Probably a wheel speed sensor.
