Does the ESP/TCS mess with a differentials proper operation

[Willie]

As above,
Will the TCS/ESP be more sensitive that a differential? Therefore cutting the power before the diff does its work.
If so can this safety features be turned off totally within the mapping process to allow the diff to do its work

 

[h17och]

it can be turned totaly off with the ibizas, not sure on leons

 

[Willie]

How is it turned off on the Ibiza?
VAG com?

 

[h17och]

no i do a mod to the switch

 

[Willie]

Did you find it was fekin with your diff control?
Did you try just pulling the fuse for the ESP/TCS?
If so did it throw a wobbly and give you fault codes?

 

[barnsley]

no i do a mod to the switch

whats the mods plz

How do you get it turned off totally?? I've found even with it switched off it kicks in if you spin it up on snow or ice etc.

 

[ibizacupra]

ibiza mod is simply to switch it into its switched off position as normal.
if you have a switch for turning it off, press it... thats as off as you are likely to get it.

diff will be allowed to work far better then power wise.

not esp cars tho sfaik

switch turns of asr but not edl, and if you have esp, you cannot dissable it completely with the switch, it just increases it's threshold.

on a leon if you have asr open the abs controller with vag com and code it 0004097 rather than the standard 0021505
This disables asr and edl but leaves abs active. This may also work with later esp enabled abs controllers, but |'ve not tested it.
