2002 Volkswagen Passat esp light on dash

Car: Volkswagen Passat
Year: 2002
Variant: 2.5 v6 tdi tiptronic
Categories: Electrics, ECU, Warnings & Lights
the esp light illuminates from time to time and this seems to make the car want to speed up but seems to stop when the engine is switched off then seems ok on restart. its only done it a few times so far but its quite scary when it does.

You would be advised to get it hooked up to a VAGCOM and see what fault codes show .
