ESP problem

[Nutty]

Hi,
I have a 52 1.8t and have started having trouble intermittently (Sp) with the ESP coming on when I put the foot down on perfectly straight/ dry roads. It will cut the power, so I turn the ESP off for a few secs and this seems to cure the issue for a while. This has now happened a couple or three times and its starting to feel like an expensive fix!
Any clues Boys and Girls?
thanks
Gareth

Is this happening in 1st and 2nd gear or at higher speeds ?

Both, the car isn't losing traction. It tends to be after the ESP activated after going round a corner etc.

abs sensor ?

Have you done a vag-com scan ?

has your car been mapped because I noticed that the ESP was slightly more sensitive after a map.

Get it scanned because it could be a faulty wheel speed sensor which is about £35 for part and 1 hours labour.
