Hi guys,
I am new to the forum and new to the cars. I happens to be that my first car is Audi a2 1.4tdi 75hp Sports edition 2004. So out of nowhere ABS and ESP light came on when ignition switched on and after starting to drive i would get 3 sharp beeps and warning. Now when I stop and restart the engine ESP light dissapears but ABS light stays on. After driving few seconds ABS light dissapears and everything seems fine. However when I stop for more than 5 mins ESP and ABS lights would come back on when ingition on and sometimes it takes few restarts before everything dissapears. Other weird thing is when going on the road I noticed ESP light would start flicker at random points of the journey for like 2-3 sec and dissapears and sometimes it actually re-triggers ABS light to come on and 3 sharp beeps then I have to stop to restart the car and all works fine again for the rest of the journey and third weird thing is when all of this start happening I've noticed that sometimes my remote key would not unlock my car and would literally have to unlock car with key or put key into ignition before it works again ??? I dont recall anything specific happening prior this issue.
Car has been fully serviced before purchase and MOT had 0 faults. Only mod I done myself is fit aftermarket stereo a month ago and took live switched feed from central heating unit with 17amp breaker (Actually stereo cable had slipped so had to break it in twice ... ). Some guys suggested due to this my battery is tripping or fuses ar gone or smth ? could stereo be the cause of triggering all of that ? I done search in forum and some suggest faulty sensor under gear stick ? But I have more symptoms at random occassions literally.
Maybe you guys can shed some light with your experiences and knowledge before i commit to servicing it. ?
Much appreciated
