Does esp delete via vcds work on the mk5?

As above I see you can completely switch of esp in the software so it's always fully switched off.


This could make the car very fun.

Can it be done on the mk5 via vcds?

And also very dangerous? Especially in the current weather. I wouldnt advise that you have it pernamantly off, just turn off with the button if you dare  :driver:

Lets be honest, your not going to make EVERY journey with it off? Surely?

As said above, pressing the button when you want to under steer everywhere is the easiest way to a ditch  :grin:

Ive not found a way to fully remove it yet.  Need to ditch it from mine as it really spoils fast road and track driving.

Turning ESP off is the first thing I do once I start the car.  The way mine is setup its safer when driving hard to have the traction off.  Not every car is the same though.  :driver:
