ASR/ESP???

[shagmeister]

Hi just a quick question, instead of my ESP button being label as such it is labelled ASR.  Is it the same thing?  If i turn it off i get the same lights on the dash and it works as traction, whats the difference if any or have i got a german switch in me console??  ta shagmeister

same thing, different name.. i think they changed it to ESP in 2001

might be different.

having read foxy's guide on installing cruise control it mentions that some cars just have traction control (which may be ASR), other cars have stability control (which is definitely labelled ESP)

sorry to confuse matters

Any ideas where i can find out??

Just got off me fat arse and searched, the ASR is anti-slip regulation.  Was esp standard in the 2002 gti pd??
