Disabling ESP not ABS, monitoring DSG temps

(1/2) > >>

Hi All,
I getting down to the details about building a Mk6 race car and I'm hoping for some input on two questions
First can you use VCDS to disable ESP but keep ABS? I see there is talk of removing a fuse but that kills both. On track I don't want the ESP to kill power when hopping over kerbs and I'd love to keep ABS especially in the wet.
Second is there something like a gauge you can plug into the ODB port to monitor DSG temps while you're driving? Am worried about temps and don't want to get a sudden limp mode situation on track if they start to get high.
thanks in advance

I know Auto Polar is working on getting the DSG oil temps available on the PolarFIS Advanced PF04 module. Still waiting for the updated firmware with that feature. Not sure if a BT OBDII reader with an app can check the DSG module and check the oil temp measuring blocks channels. :thinking:

bricksnmortar:
So in theory its just as 'simple' as using an ODB gauge pulling a value from a location ID, I'll write to them now, thanks.
Have you ever disabled the ESP on any of your Golfs?

bricksnmortar:
FYI this from Polar, sounds promising...
"We are working for add DSG temperatures in the next firmware updates, so very soon will be ready.
I can not confirm you exact date, cos is a hard development but will be in the next weeks."

Shoduchi:
The ESP off button will disable most of it. Do you have a solid yellow ESP off light on your cluster when you press it? The ABS will still work.
