Eps error

[drunknspikes3]

eps error popped up on the display the other day and didn't go off until I turned car off then started it again the light went off so charged the battery and put a odb code reader on it showed no codes so as I have read low or bad battery's can make the light come on so charging seem to have worked but I decided to put a good battery on it that my bro in law bought anyway because since having the car it seemed to be sluggish at starting so swamped the battery then left it over night and first time stating it the light came on again so charged the battery I put on the day before and the error still shows the if I turn car off and on again it goes
I know when you disconnect the battery the eps system shows a light until you drive the car a bit then goes off because it has to relearn or what ever but it stays on the eps system must work as it goes off if the car is restarted so I'm really stuck on how to fix this error has anyone experienced this at all my car is a 56 plate Audi s3 thanx in advance (ps hope that all makes sense )

Have you tried a vcds scan? ODB reader wont neccesarily show all faults

You should try read codes when steering wheel light is on

I would check the electrical connections first. I had this on my TDi and everyone wanted me to buy a new rack at a cool £1000.
The connections were cleaned and the problem solved.

I bottled out and had it done at my local inde garage.
@ShEp1.8t had a hand in it, so he might be able to shed some light.

Soo my break light switch came today tried fitting it took the dash panel off and no switch ssoooo where is the break light switch on a 2007 Audi s3 8p ?

Eps plug that we tried ok Jake's car was on the rear of the subframe, it's a big ****** of a plug and a nightmare to separate, it's also fixed to the subframe which made it more difficult,

Seemed to work for a while though after cleaning.

My vcds scans came up with these codes looks like my haldex controller needs sorting
