Evening all
I will be selling to upgrade and would really appreciate comments on what its worth.Its a 2000 X plate 1.8T Sport with 134k and full history with all handbooks & spare keys.Last August I spent £1000 on discs & pads all round with cambelt and a service and also all bushes.I also...

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.
Found my thread which didnt really arrive at any conclusion but I took some pics showing the sensor

Yep got the same issue too buddy with the same fault codes but not noticed anything untoward whilst driving.I think I posted something about this a while ago myself.
Gorgeous,gorgeous and did I say gorgeous
Car looks mint and although a fan of lowering and uprating the suspension I would seriously consider keeping a mint example like that totally original.
Well according to S3dave (see his post below) the APY engines are not affected. Have a quick look in your service book for your engine code buddy.
Ring them mate, i did and they said APY engines are not affected...had to go by the car engine as they could not find my private plate s3 on the...
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.
Glad you got it sorted sounds like a smart car and sometimes as ive found if on a budget its best to go for the nicest older model than the cheapest you can find of the newest model. I guess its been lowered from what you have said ?
Yeah mine does too last time it came on I was changing down to 4th at speed approaching a bend which makes me wonder if its a small boost leak somewhere although I was off the gas. Anyway apologies for going off topic.
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.
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 !
