I have diagnostic with delphi but the code dont erase.
The code is 0078
 
If it's like the A4, you might need to recalibrate the steering angle sensor.
How far have you driven the car since? they need a few miles movement to sort the light out too if i remember rightly

Did you remove the steering wheel by any chance?

About 200 km and light stay on
 
It does seem to indicate you need to initialise the steering angle sensor after disconnecting the battery, but seems like driving in a straight line for a short distance at 15/20km/h should do it.
Have a look at the video below, seems they had an abs sensor fault that threw a code, once fixed, just had esp light which turned out to be a faulty abs sensor that wasn't throwing a code but was causing it to not initialise the steering angle sensor.. so could be that maybe?
