Hi Robster
thanks for your reply, after a couple of changes with no success, start stop switch, brake light switch, checking all the wiring
and fuse boxes, cad the ecu checked also etc, Audi found it to be the brake pedal switch. (Thank god) €27 (phew)
Attached is a video of the problem...
first is the esp fault.. let the car settle and it started with no issues.
Thanks again for your reply on this.
