ESP Question
For the past two Winters I've done what the manual says and have turned off
the ESP in my 02 TT when driving in the snow. The ESP would remain off and
the light lit on the dashboard until I hit the button again. The first snow
of this year when turning the ESP off, it turns back on when I hit the
brakes.The dealer tells me this is normal, but I know it not to be. Any
thoughts on this?
Thanks

Interesting. My '01 A4 behaves like what you experienced during the past
two winters (hitting the brakes doesn't cause ESP to turn back on).
The only thing I can think of is that the dealer reflashed your ECU with a
newer/updated software during one of your recent service visits and that's
how the new program works. Either that, or it's broken, because I don't
really see much logic in that new behavior. Strange.
Cheers,
Pete

Tsih? Something wrong with your ESP if you have to turn it off in
snow?-) Or just so bad tyres that you can't move forward?
ESP should be on in snow.
