it will become a bigger problem if you dont get it fixed. small problems always tend to get bigger

SOURCE: on my passat ESP warning is coming on. i have

You should have the OBD codes checked. This will determine the exact fault. The ESP light will sometimes come on if there is a problem with the ABS or with the steering angle sensor.
Good luck with this

if it is very cold there - then I would suspect that if you let it warm up a lot it might stop that - also try taking off the neg - battery cable and re-installing after 45 seconds off.

The cold and any change will cause newer cars to act different as they are run by computers. If it revs under 2500 rpm - let it idle like that for a minute it won't hurt the engine - be sure all oil and water levels are up to where they should be.

Hi,

Just checking.... it is a manual gearbox?

You may need a special tool for the drain plug and a 17mm allen key for the filler (some use the special drain tool for the filler as well)

The drain plug is located under the diff housing.

The filler plug is located on the left (nearside) off the gearbox (look to the left of the hole and you can see the 17mm hex filler bung).

Check you can undo the filler bung, then drain the gearbox oil.

Refit drain bung and fill gearbox through filler/level ********* until gearbox oil is up to the level of the filler bung.

Refit, test drive, check for leaks and retest level again when cold.

Cheers,
