I assume you mean DSC

Quote:
DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL (DSC) (AMBER)
Illuminates briefly as a bulb check when the ignition is switched on.
If the lamp flashes whilst driving, the DSC system is active.
If the lamp illuminates continuously whilst driving, there is a fault with the DSC system. The vehicle can still be driven, but the DSC system will not activate under wheel spin or slide conditions. Seek qualified assistance as soon as possible.


Or
Quote:
DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL (DSC) OFF (AMBER)
Illuminates when DSC is switched off.


But I guess you haven't switched it off Question Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

With it flashing its thinking a wheel is slipping, my guess Is a sensor is faulty, so its activating and cutting power to that wheel

To be fair I ain't checked tires didn't think they would make the light flash , is that a possibility? I have brand new evoque wheels to fit hopefully that may fix it

That's the DSC system fault lamp if it's flashing.
Have you tried switching the DSC on and off?
Otherwise take it back as it's covered by warranty.
Don't start messing around changing wheels until your dealer has had a chance to look at it.
I'm suprised that you didn't return the car straight away. Probably the best time to get the garage to shift 'emselves.

Don't get despondant, i know it's not the ideal start, but once it's fixed, i'm sure you'll enjoy the car.

What colour is the warning sign? The i in a triangle is a critical warning message not the DSC

It should say something in the message centre, press the button on the left hand stalk till you get it Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis
