    ESP Light on - Due to spacesaver ???

    Quick update, if your in Scotland and don't fancy removing the module and taking your car off the road, go to Star Performance in Kirkcaldy and they can do the repair, £325.00 inc VAT and fitting and it comes with a two year warranty. They do it within two hours as well. Chris.

    ESP Light on - Due to spacesaver ???

    Cheers for the info Dandle, much appreciated. Looks like I will be going for the exchange service that provides one without having to send it away first. The bleeding of the brakes sounds a bit of a nightmare.

    ESP Light on - Due to spacesaver ???

    Oh well, the shock of having to shell out near £500 to get this fixed has gone, guess Im going to have to bite the bullet. Out of interest, how easy is it for a non mechanical person to remove this, I dont even know where to start looking. Plus is it worth trying to pick one of these up from a...

    ESP Light on - Due to spacesaver ???

    Cheers for all the replies folks New tyres fitted but still showing the ESP warning, my neighbour has Vagcom so will be checking the error over the weekend. Spacesaver was on for two days without any error, then Mrs phoned to say it had popped up so dont think I damaged any wiring when...

    ESP Light on - Due to spacesaver ???

    Think this might be a simple one, but thought all you gurus would be able to shed some light on this one. Got a puncture on one of my front wheels on tuesday night, removed the rear wheel and swapped it to the front and stuck the spacesaver on the rear. Car is now showing esp warning on the...

    Leather Interior Warranty.

    Still on the hunt for a S-line and looked at one today which I'm keen on. However there was a small kinda blistering effect on the leather interior on the side bolster of the passenger side seat, it doesnt look like anything has caught the leather, more like it has been stitched to hard at that...

    Opinions on this deal: Trading in MK5 Golf for A3 140 TDI Sportback.

    cheers for the link, the 09 plate new shape sport sportback 2.0tdi 170 with 15.000 miles on the clock for £16.500 is interesting. Still hell of a distance to travel for a motor though, saying that I did do Aberdeen to Southampton to buy a Leon many moons ago. Also promised myself Leather.

    Opinions on this deal: Trading in MK5 Golf for A3 140 TDI Sportback.

    Cheers for the info, its nice to see what otehr places are selling them at. Ive always said that there are better deals down south, however at the moment prices are only about £400/£500 cheaper so not worth the travel imo. Bought the Golf when it was at 50k, thats the highest mileage car I had...

    Opinions on this deal: Trading in MK5 Golf for A3 140 TDI Sportback.

    Thats the ideal solution but unfortunately for me the Wife isnt keen, as we did the same a few years ago thinking we could get more privately than trading in, car sat for ages and ended up selling it for less than what we could have got on the trade in. Guess my Impreza could be classed as...

    Well, looks like its not happening for me this month.:banghead: Mrs had a change of heart and decided that she didnt want to be paying out for another loan/finance package, probably brought on by the fact that I couldnt come to a deal with the dealership. They had up'd the trade in value of...

    Didnt manage to get back to the dealer but a quick look on the Audi website now shows the car priced at £16995. Going to call tomorrow, if they are still going to honour the 6k trade in on the Golf then I might just bite his hand off. Not too fussed if I cant get one with the auto lights /...
