Popped into the garage this morning to drop off my insurance certificate...My car had been delivered, so the guy took me out the back to see it. On quick scan, I noticed that the switch to turn off the ESP is where the ASR switch normally is, and I couldn't see a seperate switch. So, the question is, Is there only one switch to turn off both systems on models with ESP fitted, or is the ASR switch tooked away elsewhere?

Cheers

Pretty sure ESP replaces the ASR switch so all systems are then disabled with the ESP switch

Chris

Damn that was a fast reply...thanks for the info Chris.

yep, only an esp switch in my car.

And even with it disabled.. its not totally disabled... IIRC it will still kick in if something goes major pearshaped :(

Same on Superb where appropriate just an ESP switch

not on the octavia neo, if its off, its off. i proved this when spinning and donuting on a big empty field in the snow. that really was fun

are you sure?? cause here in norway we have to undergo a ice driving practise (road with lots and i mean lots of oil) before we can take the license. I remember that i used my car in the exercises that didn't require the abs to be off. Doing 45-60* turns didn't activate anything remote esp although i was understeering, skidding and everything. doing 360* turn didn't yield anything either. I tried with esp on as well and it yielded different handling allthough it didn't help at all.

beat me to it. Ice and snow are really fun.... I look forward to the winter in that sense...

Theirs five switchs on the fabia console. So if ESP replaces ASR what uses the 5th switch. 2 are for heated seats, 1 to let you know the passenger airbag is off and 1 for ASR (or ESP)

Thats the one. I remember seeing on the options list now "Q's special features" But the 4 figures price put me off. Oh well

So I did . Well spotted. I meant it really

My dash looks a little sparse, only got the one switch for the HRW and one for the ASR, suppose that teaches me for getting an early demo car...lol
