I've seen a few threads with the issue, this one being the same exact issue I am having (http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php/545252-NEED-HELP!-07-b7-brake-lighs-stay-on-after-starting-ignition!):
**When turning on ignition, the brake lights (rair tail lights) come and stay on at all times.
**Transmission will not shift out of 1st gear unless I switch to tipronic manual mode
**esp light is on
I'm having the same exact issue right now. I've google fu'd the crap out of this, and have found the following fixes:
Brake Light Switch (throws ESP light, and leaves brake lights on all the time while driving)
MAF (throws ESP light, but did not find anything else saying it caused the rest)
ATF low (throws ESP light, but did not find anything else saying it caused the rest)
I ordered the brake light switch & the MAF, and am going to schedule an ATF flush and fill and report back if one of these was the definitive issue. I don't have a VCDS (VagCom) cable, so reading for codes is out (unless of course some one in the greater Nashua, NH area has one and wouldn't mind flipping me a read and deleting the seat belt chime.......)
It seems like a unique combination of things to happen all at once. Happened on Monday morning (was like 6 deg out) the day after I washed the car, so I'm thinking it's the MAF more than anything else. My gas mileage has gone down on the last tank by almost 70 miles, after having new plugs, oil change and new tires installed. Funkiness didn't happen until after I washed car and the temps dipped way down.
Anyone else have this exact same circumstance occur that is active on the forum? Am I on the right track? Money is somewhat tight right now (which is why I haven't been participating here as much) and I would hate to throw money at this.
Edited to add: I'm having some other issues as well, such as excessive engine vibration, a sort of clunking upon start up as well as going over bumps/potholes, which looks to be associated with the motor mounts, so I ordered a set of street density 034 mounts.
