S3 ESC Malfunction, TPMS, No Cruise Control

[seanmcgill]

Hello,

I bought a 66 reg facelift S3 back in May and I've had no issues until now.

I went to start my car a few hours after an easy drive home and upon starting up I had these faults in this order;

• Stabilisation Control (ESC) Fault
• Hill Hold Assist unavailable
• Cruise Control System unavailable
• TPMS, Tyre Pressure System Fault

The tyre pressure indicator on the dash flashes and then stays on. The traction light is also on and there is an orange/amber warning triangle just above the steering wheel.

I took the car a drive and it seems to drive like normal, just wondering if anyone has had this issue and what was done to rectify it.

Thanks.

most likely an abs sensor that’s gone. Relates to all 4 issues.
If you have a diag tool with live data logging you can see what each abs sensor is showing. I’m a straight road there will be little difference between each wheel

Thanks I'll take it to a local garage and have them check it with the diag tool
