Turnig off the ESP?

[Kkallioj]

Is it possible to use Vag-Com to program the ASR-button also turn off the ESP? It's annoying to not be able to disable it at all.

fuse 40 IIRC.

Ok, let me rephrase: it's annoying to not be able to disable it easily for a little while occationally.

 

[bretti_kivi]

yep. Which is why I'm seriously considering a switch.

Presumably the advantage is to aid traction in snow/ice?

 

[bretti_kivi]

.. and drift... but you lose ABS as well.

I have used the button next to the gear lever to switch off the ESP in snow. It works for me..... Or am I thinking about something else ????

 

[bretti_kivi]

that button turns off ASR, which is not the same. It also does not turn off EDS, which I need to test at some point, but which requires a clear (public) road with half-snow.

I've thought about a switch too, but I'm propably too lazy to make one. Programming sounds easier.

The ASR off button is a must in the current conditions (a useless function anyway in my opinion), but it would be nice to be able to turn off the ESP too, for drifting and playing around.

ASR appears to reactivate itself at a set speed of about 40mph quite annoying or if your hooning about in the snow

If there were a switch, would using it cause a fault code and warning lights on the dash?

 

[bretti_kivi]

yes, as will pulling the fuse.
