How to Disable ESP on a Volkswagen Golf 7

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf VII, MK 7, Golf 7 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Onboard computer

If you want to disable traction control and there is no specific button on the frame at the base of the gear lever, you can do it through the onboard computer settings menu: select the CAR button and then perform the SET UP; in the vehicle settings, the first option that appears is the ESC system, which can be disabled; if you want to install the button (which costs a few pounds), you will then need to go through official diagnostics to configure it and make it functional, an operation that requires knowledge of programming codes.
