ESP status light / GTi


Recommended Posts

My girlfriends GTi has the ESP light (I believe) constantly on, with button in or out.

It's an exclamation mark with a circular arrow surrounding it.

Sadly, her user manual is in a foreign language ....

What is the default status for this light?

Not illuminated I assume.

If so, are there any obvious faults it's highlighting, common things to check etc?

Thanks in advance.

It's for the ESP system.

Page 15 of the handbook says: When the unit is switched off or if there is a fault in the system, the warning lamp is permanently on. As the ESP unit functions together with the ABS and EDL [Electronic Differential Lock], the ESP warning lamp will also come on if the ABS fails. For further notes please refer to page 79."

Page 79 says that for the system to work properly you must have the same size tyres fitted to all wheels.

She has ESP, she is polish, it was purchased in Poland and is left hand drive.

She said it was like that when she purchased it, occaisionally it's not lit up and it does flash (TCS?) when she wheelspan on a roundabout (don't ask!)

So it appears there is an intermittent fault somewhere.
