I had'nt used my A6 for a few days - started it the other day and had esp light and handbrake malfunction warning lights.I charged the battery thinking it might be that but battery is healthy - I have noticed car is sluggish so it will have to be looked at next week.

 

German cars shite etc...

Could the handbrake/calliper be sticking on slightly hence the warning lights and sluggishness?

Sluggishness in my Disco 300 TDi a while ago was indeed down to binding callipers, but it's old enough to not have any of that warning light crap for secondary systems.

It was low voltage.

I charged battery but then disconnected it. Car was lumpy as it was obviously relearning.

Now no idiot lights and no sluggishness.

Audi's are for winners etc...
