Fao the audi techs lol
I have a 2002 A3 TDi sport quattro 130bhp and today had it mot'd (which it passed) but i asked the garage to replace the n/s/f inner and outer cv gaitors and redo the tracking
They done this but couldnt get the steering wheel centred as one tie rod ball joint is seized so the steering wheel now leans to about the 8'oclock position when the car is going straight.
Now when you start driving the esp light comes on and stays on, it wasnt doing that this morning!!
Are there sensors on the steering that are detecting the wheel is not straight and turning the light on?
Typically i was going to put the car on auto trader after the tie rod and tracking have been sorted by the end of the week, and now this...
Cheers for any info!

It sounds to me like your steering angle sensor needs reseting, to do this you will need somebody with a vag-com set up to do the reset.
Look on your normal audi forum (if you are on one) and ask if anybody in your area has one and can do it for you for beer tokens.

a)want your car to leave with loose stuff on
b)want to pay over the odds for the privilidge
get on audisrs or s2forum, there are a few people in swindon with vagcom. If at worst buy a Ł10 cable off ebay and download the software and do it yourself.

module required to recalibrate the angle sensor.Its not just a case of turning off the warning light.
