Disabling drive-by-wire by pulling a fuse? (x-post from B6 forum)
Has anyone tried this on the B5? Lately, I've taken notice of the DBW in action, and it's rather annoying. Any fuses to pull? What about a VAG solution?<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4b6/msgs/170387.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/s4b6/msgs/170387.phtml</a</li></ul>

No, just drive-by-wire. The lag associated with on/off throttle is DBW, I think.
It would be nice to eliminate that or at least lessen the delay somehow.
I've seen lots of discussion here on removing fuses to disable ABS, ESP, etc. But I don't recall anyone ever focusing on DBW.

How would it be possible to disable DBW? It's not like it's an added feature...
There is no cable in there as a backup or something...
Unless you mean that the ECU won't run off torque request, and instead just do straight up throttle position or something?

Does everyone experience this delay? Can't say I've noticed it
Other than turbo log obviously - this is just a delay in the input? Maybe try an MBC solo or something, that might at least make it feel more responsive...

Try tooling along in second, off-throttle. Then, give it maybe 1/4 throttle
and see how long it takes for the car to actually accelerate. It's only a half-second delay, but it is noticeable. Try the same thing going off-throttle from about 1/4 throttle. You have to be looking for it, but lately I've been noticing it, and it's irritating.
