Volkswagen Golf - Video tutorial

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf VI, Golf 6, MK 6, 5K1 - Years 2008-2012
Part: Instrument cluster
Operation: How to deactivate the ESP on the Volkswagen Golf 6 even without the button

In this video, we see how to disable the ESP (traction control) even without the dedicated button. Even if your car has the button, it is useful to know how to do it if, for example, we have accidentally activated/deactivated it and don't know how to fix it. This is the procedure: turn on the ignition, turn on the hazard lights, and press the accelerator pedal fully five times. Now we can start the engine. We see that the tire pressure monitoring system and traction control are disabled. Turn off the hazard lights, and that's it. If we turn off the engine and then turn on the ignition again, we see that the lights that were on before are now off. We try the same procedure again, and it confirms that the ESP is deactivated. However, remember that the TPMS is also deactivated along with the ESP.
