Hello!

Vehicle: Volkswagen Polo 9N3 TDI, engine code AXR, manufactured in 2006.

After the ESP warning light illuminated sporadically several times, it then...
The error memory contains the following:

Is there something wrong with the alternator and the second one? Is this an error that is a consequence of another error?
Or what could that be?

Thank you for the responses.

Best regards, Klaus.

EDIT:
Search first, then ask.
Apparently, I need to check the cables and connectors on the alternator.
to care about; to worry about; to be concerned about.

Hello,

If I remember correctly, this is a known issue and it's caused by a cable to the LM that is too short and eventually breaks.

Best regards, Rainer.

Thank you, that's how I understood it as well.

The broken cable is not visible; I need to have it tested.

Sure, here's the translation:

"Regarding the meaning:"
The supply voltage is displayed correctly on the MWB 16.
Column 1 (generator load) is stuck at 0% and is not responding.
Switching on additional loads. Shouldn't something happen there when idling?
See something immediately?

A new error seems to be recorded only after a certain period of time.
Do I now have to fear that the regulatory activities of the Lima [organization/entity] are at risk in this situation?

I suspect that the gearbox in this condition would fail under very high stress.
Generators can no longer respond to austerity measures, but otherwise.
"Nothing bad happens directly (except that the ESP system is deactivated), right?"

Greetings, Klaus.
