Below is a copy from all my posts on another forum regarding my problem
Car with the problem:
2003 Black Mercedes A170 CDI Elegance Auto
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Hi,
The BAS ESP, ABS and brake pad wear light turned on.
The car only drives in first gear.
car was "repaired" by a recovery service, they reset the errors.
But the car has developed the fault again.
been on star machine - merc specialist garage said needs new abs control module - fitted it - did not work. now they can not find out what is wrong. i think by the recovery service resetting errors it has caused another fault or tricked the car.
the merc specialists are not struggling to find out what is wrong, they said they have 3 cars with similar problems. please can someone suggest what is wrong. i really need help
Everything else seems normal.
Thank You
Please let me know. Any help would be appreciated.
Kind Regards

I have a new update on this matter, car was taken to another merc specialist they deleted some errors but need to look into it more. 1 hour check = about 7 errors - this is weird as the car drove totally normally before the lights came on. They say there is MORE errors? as above this does not make any sense! - can this serious happen to a car with such low mileage for a diesel?
they will be looking at the car on 30th september. the car was driven locally today.
After driving for about 5 mins suddenly ALL THE EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON THE DASH FLASHED TWICE,
adding to that once most turned off the HAND BRAKE LIGHT STAYED ON when the cars hand brake was down/off.
ALSO after that the speedo mph reading went to 0 - even though i was obviously doing approx 20mph.
once i got home i turned the car on and off. then it returned back to only one error (BAS ESP) the speedo went back to normal (proper readings).
I Think the cars computer is faulty/needs replacing or reinstalling all data, what do you guys think?
please help,
i think this problem is very rare. I seriously think the problem is with the car computer and it does not have 7+ error faults.
I need serious help people, car has now been off the road for 1 month
thank you for your responses!

hi the car is still not fixed
Today another merc specialist garage tried another ESP Control Module (slightly different number i was told - but they said should work)
Should the module be exactly the same. and i have done some research and found similar cars with the ESP Control Module fault who have experienced most things i have done (said in an above message).
please help as now it is coming upto 2 months since this error occured! :/
thank you for your support.
