Hey lads was driving my lcr the other day when the tcs/esp light came on and won't go off.. My Mec put it on vag com and it's coming up as a brake pressure sensor I didn't get the faults code as he wrote it down and is also guna do some research on it but fears it's the abs unit itself just wondering has anybody else had the same problem and if so what way did u go about sorting it.. Also would Audi skoda vw etc part fit it.. Ohh my car is 2004 lcr any info would be appreciated cheers lads..
Brake pressure sensor!!

The brake master cylinder has two of these sensors fitted underneath. Nothing to do with Abs unit.
Sound like your g201 or g204 sendor in the master cylinder is playing up. Mine did the same for a few days then the light went out! This is the sendor http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/251513476898
Righto I'll give him a buzz later and see what he has come up with I'll post up and let ye know how it goes cheers lads appreciate it...
K lads can anyone just clear this up for me.. on the mk1 lcr the g201 and g204 sensors are not located internally in the abs unit.. They are two external sensors located on the master cylinder? Is it the newer vag units that had this problem with the g201 inside the unit failure there for it had to be rebuilt or replaced?
Correct but if you ring seat and tell them its a g201 fault they will probably book it in for you and get it done at the dealers FOC. Its a sod of a job as the master cylinder needs removing (if its the furthest sensor) and the a full brake bleed including both nipples on the m/ cylinder. Seat changed only one of my sensors for me and the fault remains so i'll have a crack at changing the other when time permits. If you do the job yourself.....change both of them so you don't have this prob again.
Just got in from work said I'd go have a look under the bay and see what kinda of a job it is to take the master cylinder out as I'm not to bad on the spanners.. I just stood back and said to myself why did I sell my dc5 integra type r haha
That's good. I might try replacing my brake light switch if my light comes back on.
How's the car doing now mate? I'm in the same boat now not too sure whether to replace the brake light switch or not...
Its a cheap item and the are known to fail. If you get a new one, be sure its the "green" version.
ohh i see. i can relate to the health and safety implications. the ESP kicks in randomly when cornering and i very nearly smashed the car up the kerb! lol
so who do i contact? my local seat dealership or ...?
