Default Mine is currently doing that. VAG-COM said I had a bad right front wheel sensor and my ABS

controller was intermittently showing faults. Laurel Audi confirmed the same with their VAG tool and will repair on Monday.

Maybe you have the same problem.

It means that your ESP system is disabled for some reason...probably because of a problem.

Default Mine will just flicker occassionally and you can feel the car stutter - Actually the brakes grabbing

I suspect the problem is ABS related.

When I just push the ESP button then I don't have the problem anymore.

what does "being driven with the ESP system in closed-loop control" mean?

If the light just flashes occasionally it's just the ESP kicking in
