Throwing in the towel a bit early, there.

Have you looked at measuring block 62 with the engine off?

What happens when you go from no throttle to full throttle?

Yeah, mine did the same when cold, then in a couple of miles or under certain throttle openings, error - EPC light on, no boost.

Wasnt it the throttle fault that made you combat style through the back of the car into the boot to the battery? I would love another story like that
previous- Pug 205 gti, 306 gti, 309 gti Goodwood.
Audi S3, S4 V8 avant.
Porsche Macan Turbo.
Gone but NEVER forgotten - C5 RS6 Misano red avant.

Now - Empty garage

If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there!

hi guys
cause the rs6 has been blocked in at work for the last week i have been running it up every morning, letting get up to temperature bringing up the revs getting the throttle bodies working.
Its been running perfect! unblocked it monday morning and took it out, as soon as i got round the corner the esp light cam on and started playing up again!
could an abs issue be causing my other issues?

abs/esp/maf/ throttle body are all connected. Think the best course of action for you would be to take it to a specialist who will be able to pin point the actual cause.

All the rest of us can do is offer our best educated guess (although if Shop tells you whats wrong I would go with that as he is right 99% of the time), so you might end up changing things that are fine.
