    Brake pressure release solenoid (F84) intermittent

    "I will start poking stuff I dont understand with a srewdriver" :applaus::) Having the same issue Bob I would be interested to know how you go on. Mine comes on very intermittently like yours but pressing the ESP button does not seem to knock it off.

    Do all S3's suffer from stereo button wear?

    Well its thats time of year and its started............

    I must admit I have a habit of waiting 2 or 3 secs with the ignition on before cranking it over.I think it comes from years of owning a Golf GTi MK2 where you listened to the fuel pump priming before turning it over.

    Its great & so satisfying when you finally resolve a problem hey. You have inspired me to keep chasing whats causing my ESP light to come on so intermittenly with no loss of performance.

    Looking at getting an A3, Advice please?

    I think you are making the right decision with slowcoaches car its a good honest motor and well known on the forum. As to the comment about spending 2k on an A3 is asking for trouble in my opinion an Audi is built far better than most other marques but you can buy trouble in pretty much any...

    Yes really nice car and you have to respect the guy for doing all his own work. You should think seriously about that car as its known on the forum and a member would not stiff another member. This means you could make a trip down and bring it back sameday = result !
