My Audi q7 keeps struggling to pick up power

When I am driving even at 30 mph my cars ESP light comes on and I find it hard to get the car over 30mph it mostly happened when I was taking off and picking up speed then the car would struggle to get to 50. I could have my foot to the board and it wouldn't pick up speed. I would drive it maybe 40mph on the motorway until it cleared itself but always when this happens the ESP light flashes. I have turned it off and it seems to be better the ESP that is. Any ideas? Audi keep telling me they can't find any fault coming up its as though I'm making it up.

When a problem like this arises the very 1st thing that must be done is to have the electronics scanned for fault codes, this is the how the diagnosis of the problem is started, otherwise you are just guessing.

It's the normal car service reminder due. Whichever will be reached first: 700 km, or 30 days. In other words after 700 km, or if you don't drive the car 700 km within 30 days, you should carry out the car maintenace: engine oil & oil filter, air filter, fuel filter, pollen & dust cabin filter, ...

When driving my Audi A4 it seems to lose power and the ESP light comes on? What does this mean?

The ESP light refers to your car's traction control. The loss of power you feel is the car throttling back in an attempt to regain normal traction conditions. This is by design but if you car is flashing ESP under normal driving conditions, you most likely have an ESP sensor problem and should have it checked at the dealer.

I have a 2000 Audi TT Quattro (180). Both my ABS and ESP light were on. I took it to my local garage who replaced a front wheel sensor which eliminated the ABS light. After a 30 mile drive the ESP light...

Check bearing and joint/knuckle on every wheel and even on the drive shafts, if there is lack/knocking, that could cause abs and esp light, because sensor doesnt give right information and ecu only records sensor fault but doesnt say why the infromation is wrong.
They changed the sensor but didnt solve the cause!!!
