Title: ESP/TCS question
Post by: R32UK on 15 June 2011, 19:48
My first grip is with the ESP button. Switch it off and the MFD states the TCS(?) is switched off!! At least get it right VW... pick one and stick to it!  :angry:


Secondly... is there anyway of getting rid of the yellow flashing light using vagcom???

Soo bloody annoying having the light flashing away... why cannot it be just left on as a solid like the R32 used to :undecided:

A piece of insulation tape strategically stuck on the speedo works for me.

It's quite easy to strip the clocks down and cover the light internally.

Having said that I don't think mine flashes?

Flashing ESP light is correct for the Mk6 GTI.

a flashing light on display to warn you to pay more attention to the road... sounds about right  :grin:

I'm sure that it's different on 2010 MY and that they have two lights or something  :rolleyes:

I'll check when. Get my ass out of bed.

2p bet anyone?  :grin:

My mum's 09 Scirocco used to be permanently lit, her facelift Scirocco and GTI flash :)
My current Leon stays on, my old facelift Leon used to flash :)

It feels like the ones with the permanently lit lights turn it off properly where as the flashing ones don't, as it still kicks in :(

You owe me 2p mo-fo  :grin: 

My car has two lights, one for the trction control that flashes when you loose grip and on that stays on (non flashing) when TCS is off.

Pic and video taken - I'll upload them in 5
