Hi Guys,
Posting this for a friend.
He has a VW Golf Mk5 2.0 GT TDI (2005/05 plate) with around 50,000 miles.
He recently bought the car and about a month into driving the ESP warning light came up. He took it along to local VW dealership who I have dealt with for years with no problems for a 50K service and to check the ESP light.
Service went through with no problems, but the ESP warning was coming from a sensor fault within the ABS pump - cost of part is £1300. Obviously the work will need to be carried out for the safety of the car/ABS breaks etc but we wer ejust wondering if anyone else has ever heard of such a problem with it purely out of curiosity.
The dealership said they cannot fix it and do not know of anyone who can which is why a full replacement pump has been quoted...as I say I've used them for years so have no worries about the mechanics being "at it" or anything like that!
Cheers for any help.
