Hello,
Sorry my very first post is a cry for help, but I'm hoping someone here can help me as I'm well and truly stuck in a very difficult position!
To cut a long story short(ish), I'd just sold my TTR 225 - px for an A6 (first baby on the way :)) - but on the way back from having agreed the deal, the ESP light came on.
Obviously needed this checking and sorting before I completed the deal the following weekend, so booked it into an Audi specialist.
They checked the diagnostics and the following error code came back:
- lateral acceleration sensor implausible signal -
A new lateral acceleration sensor was fitted and all seemed OK on their test drive.
However, when I went to pick the car up, the ESP light came back on.
Another diagnostic check and the following error codes appeared:
- lateral acceleration sensor implausible signal -
- electrical fault in current circuit -
The ESP light doesn't necessarily stay on all of the time, it's intermittent, but seems to go through phases, sometimes more on than off and vice versa.
They've tried clearing these faults, but with no success.
Likewise, the wiring has been checked, switches, etc - and I'm getting desperate now, as I'm likely to lose the deal on the A6 and my deposit.
Next step is to look at the ABS Control Unit, but with no guarantee of fixing the problem and a cost of c. £700, this isn't a road I want to go down if I can help it.
Can anyone PLEASE help?
Many thanks.
