Conor1410 Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Hi all, I have been having an issue with my A4 1.8 TFSI (62 Plate) over the past couple of weeks. Its been driving fine no concerns at all when one morning it wouldn't start and a display message comes up saying "Stabilisation Control (ESC) Fault. The engine is turning over but won't start. I have scouted online and there seems to be a mixed response to this. I have had a diagnostic ran and been given a list of fault codes but nobody can seem to get information on them. I have attached some pictures and a video Any help or advice would be massively appreciated. Cheers Conor Video.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niedzial1983 Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Looks like battery failing... low voltage will show all kind of fault codes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conor1410 Posted June 4, 2018 Author Share Posted June 4, 2018 Thanks for the reply. I've looked into the battery. I've taken it out and had it tested. Voltage and capacity came back ok. Its not an issue with the battery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gigs Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Has any of you got the solution to the above problem? Been having the same problem for weeks now but wen the car was left in the son for a long time it started and was fine for two days but now its back there again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 First simple port of call would be to get the battery efficiency checked - if only to eliminate this as a possible cause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmdm1r Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 (edited) Did you find a solution? My a5 is doing the same thing. Thanks Edited July 14, 2021 by Dmdm1r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmdm1r Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Changed the battery but unfortunately still having the same intermittent issue. Doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to why it starts or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
