Rs4 ESP fault

[mart2465]

Hi cleaned my air intake when finished the esp light was on and won't go off , its done nothing to the car as far as i can tell so far .
I've read that it could be the MAF but could do with some advice as to what else it could be or how to get it off

Probably came up if the maf was disconnected & ignition cycled, just remove via vcds, see what it shows then.

You need to use a diagnostic tool called VCDS on a laptop with a special lead or see if someone local to you can do it for you.

Yup, first thing is clear the fault code and see if it reappears. If the light pops up again once cleared then replaced the MAF (easy job, couple of torx bolts).
