Have you checked your rear light cluster for bulb outs?

Generic code readers don't give enough info to work off mate. VAG-COM is the thing you need to do this job. I would be surprised if the ECU is done. Although engine faults do turn off "luxury" items. There was a lad here in Australia that had a bad MAF/air flow meter that caused ESP issues.
