Hi, im trying to diagnose a problem i have with my a8. There is random esp fault popping on tne dash when engine is running (car can be parked up) and disappearing after few seconds. When the fault is on the revs are going up to ~1000rpm and radiator fans are comming on at full speed. Anyone came across this issue? Any help would be appreciated

Hi, You need to get the fault codes read as this will make it a lot easier to identify the cause of the problem.
A cheap £5 bluetooth dongle and an app like Carista or torque and you can read and clear faults.

Hi, thanks, i have a vcds hex+can. Fault codes popping out are coolant temp sensor, steering angle sensor and error message from ecu in gearbox and abs brakes module. This must be some electrical fault as all of the faults are coming on randomly and go away after few seconds. Ive just disconnected and cleaned ecu connectors but this didnt solve a problem
