ESP & Serv light now coming on!

[Da]

Yeah I'm amazed that if the new tyres are the problem, that more people haven't had this issue. It's not the brake switch as mentioned earlier in the thread as this brings up the ABS light too so who knows!
Hopefully a simple 'reset' will sort it on the clip and all will be well again.

Daz - Mine's in tomorrow as well, so we'll be able to compare our respective dealers' success/excuses.

Wilja - Got the ESP, fuel & SERV lights on today - Connect 3!!! Do I get a prize?

Ok, got the car back just now and they've adjusted the brake light switch as that was the cause of the fault apparently. The fault doesn't always throw up the ABS light either, sometimes it can be just ESP & serv lights.

So, fingers crossed!

Same for me - "brake switch & pedal reset" was how they described it.

Let's hope this has cured it then mate.

Daz- just one last theory is- do you have people sit in the back of ur car recently??
I get the service light come on occasionly and i found out that there is a few connector blocks under the passenger seat. Little test, take the car out &when the lights come on just reach under the passenger seat and gently tug on the wires. I dont think its anything major.
I change over my wheels all the time 15s/16s and never had a problem with lights coming on.

No mate, can't say that I've noticed it with anyone sat in the back recently. It seems to be at sustained speeds over a certain distance otherwise it doesn't come on.

Well after a small amount of motorway driving today, mine seems to be sorted.

I have had tyres off/on a few times now and it never caused any problems.

You could have adjusted the brake light switch yourself, it takes less than a minute to do and is a very easy and simple thing to do to check whether that is the problem, i have had my ABS/SERV/TC light come on twice now and each time i have sorted it by re-adjusting the switch, if it does it again then i will probably get a new switch and replace it myself, as the usual response from my dealer is leave the car with us for the whole day so we can investigate.

I had me ESP and SERV light come on. I lost the throttle too.

Needed a new throttle body.
