RS4 ABS & ESP warning lamps on !!!

Post by GaryT » Tue Apr 13, 2004 5:50 pm

Hi, just accelerating away and heard a pop come from under the bonnet, then the ABS & ESP lamps came on! Stopped to check it out, but no obvious problem, fuses all ok. Re-started car, but it stalled straight away. It started ok then and has not stalled since. I have noticed that the revs have been irregular when idling on a couple of occasions since.

Have tried to get my local Audi dealer to look at, they are so busy they cannot fit it in for 2 weeks! Great!

They assure me it is safe to drive!!! Does anyone here have any idea what the problem might be ?

Thanks, GaryT

Get to a different dealer then. Will your dealer pay for any damage if you continue to drive it and something major fails? I'm sure they'll contract amnesia and deny any conversation took place!
That's what I'd do personally anyway.

Cheers

Did the engine management light come on?.....
If so get it on VAG COM ASAP ,
or personally go to your dealer and dont move until youre seen.
Otherwise call Audi Customer services, the will send a man out to diagnose the fault and recover it if required.
Audi sucks again.. and you want us to stay loyal, com on guys play the fecking game

Sounds like it blew a pipe off somewhere, although I dont understand why the ESP light came on, it should be the ECU light :bash:
Flippin dealers think they are industructable and can pee off punters :audibash: :audibash: :assflash:
