EPC Light & Battery problems

Post by Norre » Sun Mar 06, 2011 11:21 pm

Hi all! Yesterday when i got of work, i went out to start the car, but it refused to start, the battery was empty. So i left the car at work and charged the battery, the next day it was fine.
I took it home and then the morning after it was still fine. BUT after 2 days, the battery was emoty again. I jumped the car and drove it for about 40mins and then turned it off. Started it again, no problems. But when i left it over night it was dead again. Today i took of the + and the - pools from the battery and took it out of the car to see how it looked. It seemed fine to me, but i'm going to buy a new batt tomorrow ( couldn't find one today ). But my question is, when i put the battery back and connected it the ESP and the EPC light came on, the ESP went off again after about 30 sec of driving, but the ESC wont go out! Any ideas?!

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks guys!

When you disconnect the battery the steering angle sensor forgets it's settings and needs recalibrating, see http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/cars/s ... angle.html
