B5 S4 days, ESP is never completely disabled.

traction control, ASR, EDL or whatever you want to call it didn't. That is why I ask RMcQ if he was getting throttle cut which could be logged because that would show it was ESP and not the "traction control".

Then again I might just be lucky, or have never had the right conditions.

drive. And when I do get into the power with ESP engaged (light out, normal default setting) I do get massive throttle cut, loss of boost, with flashing ESP light in the cluster.

Now I am back to having the suspension module plugged in (both plugs) and I can turn off ESP and it stays off. Now I get no throttle cut or ESP intervention on dry roads. I am not sure about the background 'never disabled' ESP if it exists.

Hi everyone. I'm an old audiphile new AR geek. I've launched the air springs in favor of the Stasis msports. I have been following the a/s delete thread for a while. I am experiencing the same thing as RMcQ where I cannot turn off the esp. I keep finding posts that say that you just unplug the suspesion module and "every thing" works. I don't buy it.
I have been studying the system architecture and I have a few Ideas. If I can get all the coil over converts to help me compile some data. I think I can help us all enjoy the good ole steel coils without any issues.
i need the following info.

Model year
Transmission
ECM part # and soft coding, any stored DTC
ABS module Part # and soft coding, Any stored DTC
Xenons? Y or N
Headlamp Leveling work?
Does your ESP stay off when you shut it off?

I am in LA and I have a VAG-COM. if there is anyone in LA has an coil over conversion too, lets talk.

RMcQ

2001 model year
6 speed manual
4Z7 907 357 ECM number (I think, going from memory)
ABS stuff from when I had suspension module unplugged (it is now plugged in again):
<i>Address 03: ABS Brakes
Control Module Part Number: 4Z7 907 389
Component and/or Version: ABS/ESP allrad D47
Software Coding: 06395
Work Shop Code: WSC 00810
1 Fault Found:

01310 - Level Control System Control Module (J197)
49-00 - No Communications</i>

Yes xenons
Now they do with suspension module plugged in
ESP now stays off as long as I don't get a "control limit not reached" MIL for the suspension as the module is plugged in and I try to trick it that it is at level 1.
