Could be the Electronic Stability Program (ESP). It could have been triggered by low voltage caused by the battery voltage dropping below a threshold when cranking the engine which would be a sign that the battery needs charged or replaced.

It's possible a fault code was stored which you would need to scan with VCDS to view.

Thanks for the reply, that would make sense as the car has been stood for over a week,, I'll charge the battery and see how it goes , it's normally a bit of a mile muncher
