Default Funny, you'd think there would be a light indicating off road mode but instead...

There is nothing, and it makes me think the car has full ESP as the light is off. Guess I'll have to go find some more mud!

Default I did a full write-up on that a year ago -- basically anything w/ ABS or ESP

I'll look for the link later, but you can find it by searching banditoamigo & ABS. Short story is it helps and doesn't seem to break anything. it's not the ABS but the electronic diff that you're seeing if I remember right.

Default If you want to slide your a$$$ off put in a dead ECU for the suspension..that kills everything...

no one will try it who has coilovers...I have suggested it and even offered my dead one for a trial...I know it kills all control as mine broke and I had to drive it 40 miles in ice/snow and I will never do that again...the only reason I keep this beast is for the suspension/esp (sorry guys I like the nannies just where they are)/quattro and the xenons (One of which is busted btw

Just a thought if you really want to "play" with this car...can you say "pig on ice"

wouldnt disabling everything be better than this "offroad" mode?
