I have posted before with this one but still no luck....
When I get in the car first thing in the morning and drive about 2 miles the ESP warning lamp comes on and then about 10-12 sec later the oil temp gauge just falls to zero. I have also noticed that the main radiator fan then goes to permanently on and it can be heard whizzing away. Once you pull over and turn the ignition off all of these faults are reset .well most of the time!
The car has since been in for its 40K mile service (independent bosch garage) and the VAG Com showed nothing that would be causing this. At first I thought it was battery (as indicated in some threads) as it had run down when the car was in storage last year but again this has not fixed the problem. Thankfully it needed replacing anyway.
I have read many posts which mention lateral and break sensors but as the oil temp gauge seems to be related I am not sure what avenue to go down. These faults have been occurring since about Christmas and any help or ideas would be appreciated.
Many thanks,
EMD
