This is a commonly asked question, search this forum for N249 removal and you'll find lots of topics on it.

My guide's on my website here:

Question relating to this..... Mate has got the slxi 1.8T engine and his not got the additional valves n249 etc but his car doesn't have traction control either. So that being the case surely all your removing is the ability for the ecu to control traction control properly? Is it just simpler to turn it off?
