Hello experts,
Newbie here looking to see if i can save some money and take on the work myself. However, I don't know what to change/check to see what is needed. Some guidance, drawing, instructions would really help me here as I am a visual learner. See below for a vagcom reading on an audi 2005 A4 B6 1.8T ( 250,000 km). The only error i see on my cluster is the symbol for ESP.

I cleared all codes multiple times but they come back.

Also, the passenger side door panel light ( and back door panel light come on intermittently). Equally. when I open the passenger side back door and put my little one in the car seat(as the door is open) the system/alarm activates and the back interior light does not turn on even when the back door is open.

Is there a problem you are highly focused on or are these just random things to worry about?

It looks like there are a couple faults that need to be addressed. You need to record the scan log BEFORE you erase everything when attempting to clear DTCs. You need to begin by reviewing the date on which the error was recorded. You can't get too tense about things that occurred 3 yrs ago and haven't shown up since.

Thanks uberwgn,

I am concerned with all these issues to be honest but because the ESP light is on my cluster I am most concerned with this. I read that the brake light sensor may need to be changed but not sure how to confirm this.

As for the dates, even when i clear these errors the same ones keep coming back (have recorded the log before erasing and then comparing this to a new run 3 days later).

Also the radio reception is bad and the panel lights and locking of the doors is inconvenient especially when I need this working most.

Thanks again.
