Volkswagen Beetle 2000 - Dashboard warning light - ilove-VWs

Can any one tell me what this warning light means I have looked everywhere even in the manual and can't find out what it means
It's a red warning light on the left side of the dash A Triangle with a ! In the middle and then a arrow in a circle around it ..
I have switched the car off and on it's still there, is it something to do with esp? I pressed the esp button on and off it made no difference it's still on .. does anyone no what this means and what is possibly wrong with the car

Sounds like the ESP warning light. It is not possible to guess what’s wrong. You need to get the Abs system checked via the diagnostic systems. Have you had anything done recently to the steering,tracking or suspension?

Before you get expensive - change the brake light switch(cheap and easy) - these are know to fail (it's when not if!) and can give this error. Firstly - do the brake lights work?- even if they do this could still be the issue is it's not just a switch
