Hi

Can anyone help me please?

I bought a 52 plate A4 1.8 t last Wednesday. I loved the car until Monday when the ESP light started coming on when turning a left hand bend at low speed (5miles ph).

The next morning I went to work and as I turned into the car park, it happened again but this time the engine cut out and would not restart. Both the ESP light and battery came on. The engine would turn over but then die.

This happened to the RAC man too. So my car is now in the garage I bought it from where they have changed the temp sensor and coil pack.

I am very concerned about this though as I need a reliable car with having two young children. I am also concerned it may happen at speed.

Any information/suggestions would be very welcome

:confused:

i had the esp light come on on the motorwaydue to a blown tbb dont be concerned it still alllows you full control but no accelleration just pull over to one side if it happens. Get it on vag-com to check error codes oil level etc all ok? sounds like a dodgy sensor to me but vag will tell all
