Picked up my Golf R yesterday, and right now it is sitting 200 metres from my house as it doesn't have enough power to get up the hill.

Yesterday the ESP light and the symbol of the car with the skids lit up and it told me there was an ESP error. I parked up the car and when I got back into it a few hours later the error had gone.

Today i've been driving it normally but as I was nearing home the same two lights came on but also the EPC light, and the car then basically refused to function - idling erratically and not providing enough power for me to get up the hill leading to my house.

The car has done 270kms and I thought I was running it in fairly carefully, with only the very odd drop into sports mode and a bit of acceleration (can't resist a little bit).

Has anyone seen this error or this type of thing before?

Also, any thoughts on what to do from here - the dealer is a 50 mins drive away and isn't open on Sundays - should I call VW Assist to come and have a look?

Bit miffed. Just want to get back in my beloved R.
