Default Road Holding.... Problem?

Hi

I have an Audi A3 qattro 1.9 diesel, 2003.


Its second hand and shortly after I got it, when I go down hill and round a corner to the right the yellow flashing triangle warning light comes on and the car seems to hold to the road, this is happening more and more, I've had two mechanics look at it but both say they can't find anything wrong. Any one got any ideas as to the problem?

many thanks

does it look like a triangle with an exclamation mark in the middle and an arrow that circles around the triangle?

i think that's the ESP working and it's normal... i've seen it flash in my dash a few times...

unless you're driving in a straight line and it's just randomly flashes.

Yeah thats right the ESP, yellow triangle,I know its supposed to come on over uneven terrain gravel and the like but it never did it all when I first got the car.

Thanks anyway (I had forgotten what it was called!)
