How can one get rid of ESP/ASR on the 2.0TDI 4-Motion?

I wan't to be able to FULLY turn OFF any driving aids (except ABS) when I feel the Rally Fever...The ESP button won't let me turn off driving aids completely?? Can it be done without turning off the Haldex/ABS and what not at the same time? I'm thinking of coding or hardwiring and have it connected to a switch.

Any Tech's here who have an idea...?

Might be worth looking which fuse controls the circuit and what else is on the same fuse ?

Thanks for the answer! The fuses won't do it because the ABS/ESP/Haldex all go on the same circuit (as far as I've understood it)...
It will aquire some kind of wizardry but all the driving schools must have some special formula that they use because their cars got to have the ability to switch off all driving aids...

I didn't realise there was a Mk6 TDi 4 motion - got any photos?

Yes I have a 2010 2.0TDI Highline 4-Motion on order...delivery week 10! I will post some pictures as soon as I take delivery...Can't wait to get it! I have driven a couple demo cars already so I know what I'll get and it's one helluvah package, but since we have 6 months of winter here in Norway I REALLY want to get rid of the dreaded ASR...

It is possible yes, but I think you will kiss the warranty etc goodbye if you did.

ESP is like Audi's should be able to turn off if you hold the ESP button down for 6+ Seconds

Warranty is not a problem, I work at a dealership! But How is it possible?

ESP can be turned off on the VW G mk VI, just like on the Audi's but you still have the VERY annoying ASR...Just let get out the rear end for a sec or two and then it cut's in and spoils the fun. On the previous generation VAG platform it was possible to turn everything off but on these new cars...NoOoooOooOO...Unless you tweak it somehow??

I wish the 4motion was available in the UK.

Well I can turn off the ESP with the switch in front of the gear stick then the orange led shows all the time. This means you can wheel spin if your daft enough.

Sure you can spin the wheels like forever (by pressing the button you can de- activate the ASR: Anti Spin Reduction) but as soon as you try to drift or do a power slide the ESP (Electronic Stability Program) kicks in and ruin everything = Kinda sad...

I talked to a tech at work who will give it a go when the car arrives...Hopefully we can bypass the annoying electronic aids!!!
