it might work on a jetta s or se but the gli has a diff wiring harness then the reg jettas. same thing with hids. some would work on jettas but then when u put them in the gli it would trigger a code

so if it might work on the other models other than the gli, we other models cant follow awe's exact guide correct?

It's going to be a trail and error, it really depends on the abs controller wether the pin numbers are same across both models.

i would just open the abs thing up under the hood an see if that spot doesnt have a wire in it if not take a wire and run it to a 12 volt source with the wire in the spot and plugged in. and then while car is on tap the wire onto the positive side of battery. have someone in the car when u do it to see if it says tracion off. u can tap it again to turn it back on or turn car off. if it works then follow awes instructions cuz they should work

you dont need vagcom for it to work. i paid 75 for switch the yellow wire and the connector from dealer. and then with the wiring and fuse holder and some shrink wrap for on the wire and some connectors cost about 100 bucks to do but worth it. already got stuck in snow on a hill in ohio and without that button ida never made it up the hill. cuz every little slip the car would just cut off the gas. turned the switch off and up the hill i went

Whats up neighbor! I'm from Strongsville. What hill were you on?

Any ideas if this button will fit on Euro 1.4 TSI?
Since the GLI on US spec markets is sold as TSI over here....

I ordered all the parts for this today from the dealer. Everything should be in on Monday. Should have installed by next weekend. Will give update after that.

Can you post some part numbers? It seems as though the ones in the AWE guide have been superseded to something newer.

[bmain0407]

parts that i ordered were from awes page and they worked perfect

Right, but they are usually no longer made as there has been a design revision. You can still find the old part at various sites, but the new part is the one currently being manufactured.

any updates?

[Flyin18T]

Not installing until this weekend.

[tankisarockstar]

anyone try this on a 2.5 SE yet?

[stumpjump]

Assuming I go ahead and tackle this myself, about how much do the parts run? Ive got t small budget at the moment after buying the car, but its def something Im interested in.

I'm waiting for you to do it first, so then I can decide!

[JorgePerez]

When you buy the ESP button from ecs tuning does it come with the harness? or is that what everyone is getting from the dealer?

[bmain0407]

the harness is sepereate from the switch. it totals to around 75 bucks for both

[Fendermender]

anyone try this on a 2.5 SE yet?

ill probably be giving this a shot very soon

[sambo413]

what's the part number for the harness?

[bmain0407]

idk its right on awes site

[JorgePerez]

Will installation of the switch void factory warranty?

[crtdimark]

Anyone help me out with the button part number for the one that will go next to the push start or to the far left and the connector part number as well??

Thanks guys

I'm starting down the road of communicating directly with VW Canada this week about my desire to have them foot the bill to add a button to my car.
Why? Damn thing nearly killed me. In deep snow at intersection when truck started sliding towards me I BARELY got out of the way in time. Damn thing was groaning and moaning at me and I couldnt get it going!
If I had been able to turn off the T control I could have dug the wheels down to ashphalt and got going.
Effectively this should be a recall action. Won't cost them more than 200 bucks a car IMO.

yea it was pretty dumb of them to not put this in the cars. either way vw would probably get **** about it cuz if they put it in then ppl woulda been like hey we didnt kno we turned the traction off blahblah blah then sued them cuz when u turn it off it comes on to the screen for a second them disappears and u dont kno if it is on or off

Installed. Works perfect. My buddy who is an Audi/VW tech installed it today. He used the list of VW parts from the AWE DIY. He stated that one of the wires/harness that goes to the ABS controller was missing from the parts list. He was able to get one for me and finish the job. I'll get more details tomorrow from him as a follow-up.

there are a number of vehicles that don't come with the option of dissabling traction control so i doubt they will do anything about it.
