Default 3.2Q ESP Light on and engine cutting out

Hi Guys,

I'm new to the forum, so hello to you all

I have a 2003 3.2 with 60k miles on the clock which I have owned about 18 months. Ive had quite a few problems with this car (and a previous audi) so its fair to say I probably won't buy another Audi but for the time being I'm stuck with it.

One problem I have is that the ESP light is coming on and staying on intermittantly. In the past, leaving the car for a while and turning it on again the problem has gone away. This time, since yesterday the ESP light wont go out and the engine is having periods of stalling at idle.

Any ideas? The car is going in on saturday to have the codes read but it would be nice to know if anyone else has experienced this and found a resolution.

thanks in advance

I think its a long winded way of saying "sell the car and walk". Maybe thats not bad advice lol
