     its neither the Esp is off (just press the esp button in front of the gear stick to turn it back on) or theres a fault in the Esp system and it needs putting on diagnostics to find out whats triggered it

     If it dosent turn back on when you press the ESP button your in trouble.

    This is becomming quite a common problem and costs £1500 to fix outside of warranty. VW are refusing to do a recall on this and a number of us have complained to watchdog..
