traction control

[garbi]

is it possible to turn the traction control totally off ?

In the 03 RS6, Yes, push the ESP button on the dash and all the "Audi will keep you safe" features go bye bye.

You should have a yellow icon in the tach light up. It's an orange triangle surrounded by a circle with an arrow on it.

In my R8 its called the ESP/ASC and lights up a little car icon in the instruments that has skid marks coming off the tires. (sorry, no pic at the moment)

This may be the more current icon when you hit the "Fun Button", depending on your car and the year.

comes back on if you over do it.

pull the fuse but I have to look and see which one it is again I forgot

[Aronis]

um, that sounds like a good idea! Perhaps not!

thanks,
i am aware of the standerd esp button but this doesn't eliminate it completely , i think it still keeps about 30% traction on.
i was wondering about the fuse .... do u know which one ?

thanks

I learn something new everyday. Thanks guys.

I've had a couple times where it seemed like the car was trying to compensate for a slide or over drive into a corner with the fun button in it's off position, but never quite realized that it was the car - just figured I'd not hit that point of no return.

I have yet to throw the RS away while playing...

Someone post which fuse to pull. I need to scare myself. :dance:

I cant seem to find which one it was I remember someone on audiworld saying which one it was
