The manual provides the details of the function of the switch for the TCS.
Press for approximately 1 second and TCS is disabled.
Press for approximately 3 seconds and ESP is disabled.
Remember that it is disabled to the extent that VW have programmed in. It will enable itself should conditions that VW have determined for it to!
Depends on the age and region of the car I thought. Some can do it that way, others need to be hacked.
MY12 post June 2011 build cars allow the ESP to be disabled - but it's only in a suspended state until you touch the brake. Cars before this date cannot have the ESP disabled. MY12 cars with specific ABS controllers can be "hacked" to ensure the ESP remains off even after touching the brake. See the posts on the first page of this thread.Quote:

I know what I'm talking about :D
As a few of us have found out the hack does not work on our local cars
US only for now
You can tell its a DSG because you can see the "P" in the top right hand corner of the MFD display indicating that the car is in Park.Quote:

Apparently this message is so important that it needs to be flashed onto the screen every few seconds, hiding the selected gear indicator and taking attention away from the road you're trying to drive without ESP enabled.
There is coding to disable pretty much all the systems, its just not documented - you have to work it out.
We had the ability to disable the MK6 GTI some 3.5 years ago.
No doubt, that was useful ....and for a Golf R, which is the thread topic
