Hi Guys,
Just got my S3 through its MOT and taxed yesterday. She seems to be driving pretty well but has a couple of faults I was hoping you could help diagnose.
The history of the car is that is has been sitting for a few months unused.
I had to fit a rear ABS sensor I used this one: Audi A3 8L1 Hatch Bosch Rear ABS Sensor Genuine Brake Wheel Speed Sensor | eBay
The longitudinal acceleration sensor from behind the glove box was missing so I replaced that.
Apart from that it was just tyres, ball joints and anti roll bar bushings for the MOT.
Can you suggest any common faults I should check?

- ESP flashing when accelerating gently from low speed - sometimes this leaves a soft fault until the next start up.
- ABS light going off when braking gently and also leaving a soft fault on the dash.
- Temperature gauge will sit on 90 when stationary but drops down as I drive - suspect the thermostat, what do you think?
