VW GOLF & TOURAN ESP LIGHT ON

ESP faults are a common issue in Volkswagen, Audi, Seat, and Skoda vehicles equipped with Electronic Stability Program (ESP). Typically, drivers notice the ESP light on the dashboard, which persists even after attempting to turn it off. When diagnosed, a common fault code is ‘01435 Brake Pressure Sensor 1 (201),’ indicating a failure in the ABS pump/module.

The ESP light serves as a warning that the ESP function is inactive due to a system fault. ESP is crucial as it goes beyond ABS and TCS by using additional sensors to detect potential loss of traction during turns or sudden maneuvers. It applies brakes to specific wheels to prevent excessive lateral movement and maintain driver control.

Affected Vehicles

• Audi A2, A3, S3, TT
• Seat Altea, Leon
• Skoda Octavia, Superb
• Volkswagen Beetle, Bora, Eos, Golf, Jetta, Polo, Touran

The conventional solution involves replacing the ABS pump, which can be expensive and typically comes with a short warranty. An alternative and cost-effective approach is to rebuild the existing ABS pump. This process takes approximately 2-3 working days, and a lifetime warranty is provided, offering a more economical and durable solution.

To initiate the rebuilding process, vehicle owners can fill out a test form. For further assistance or advice, individuals can contact the service provider.
