"ESP faulty Visit workshop" after new battery
Discussion
Got a C180K. About 5 weeks ago my old battery was on its last legs and died, so I got RAC to install a new one.
Haven't used the car since, so tonight I started it to keep the battery charged.
I've got "ESP faulty Visit workshop" appear.
I've no idea if RAC messed up, it's the cold weather or this is standard when the battery is changed.
Out of curiousity, is it possible RAC could install the wrong battery? During the installation the RAC system distributed the wrong battery. The guy installing it noticed this and said he had the correct battery in the van. I'm just wondering if this was the wrong battery again. Or, would the car simply not start?
The engine is ticking over fine.

Okay, the steering column lock had been pulled up...... (wasn't me, a relative had the car).
Just pushed it down, clicked in to position but have warning message:
"ESP Not available See Owner's Manual".
Read the manual. Is a short drive actually likely to clear it or is that standard guff?

Happens when you fit a new battery to some VWs as well. You need to take it for a short drive to allow the Steering Angle Sensor to re-calibrate.
I had the same issue with the wifes Audi, came on very shortly after fitting a new battery but went off after driving for a few minutes.Gassing Station | Mercedes | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
