Hey all,
Welcome to the ninth episode of JordanJamesTT or JJ's TT
for short.
In todays episode I shall be talking all about the
Electronic Stabilisation Program (ESP) on the MK1 Audi TT. Specifically what the purpose is and how it works etc.
The ESP system wasn't actually part of the 1998, 1999 and 2000
models. The ESP system was only integrated onto these cars as
part of an early recall by Audi. To find out why this recall had
happened please either click the link below to watch my previous
video or tap the pop-up banner on screen at 0:40.
• The unexpected and sad...
Hope you found this interesting, learned something new
but most importantly enjoyed watching.
See you guys next time :) bye!

Now I know what and why this button is there and what that light is. The dash display light. I thought it was an idiot light warning of a condition. On light means ESP is off. Off light means ESP it's on. Bass-ackwards. But I know now. Please do a video on how to manually adjust drivers seat in a US 2002 TT Quattro base model. What does base vs ACLS model mean? I can make my seat go back and forth and lean back. Does this adjust the seat up and down? I am subscribed. Thanks, Bosco J.

I always turn it off in the winter and if its off it still has a yaw sensor if you get to much angle in a drift.. which annoys me lol

Oh ok, I never knew that. Learn something new everyday

You can code it out completely, as you say if you just use the button it only partially turns it off. I coded mine out years ago, i much prefer it.

Stab the hazard switch a couple of times with you finger, quite hard. It'll break the little weld that forms in the switch and it'll work for months. An Audi tech taught me this and it works every time.

I have seen pretty sweet gain of power whenever I turn off the ESP... Is it possible?

@youngstayoung6633 2 жыл бұрын

Yea I always turn it off in all my cars. It slows the car down

To the best of my knowledge there is correlation between the power out of an engine and the ESP system. The electronic system simply adjusts power when sensors detect wheel motion out of set parameters and help to enhance control of the vehicle on slippery conditions. I believe the manual only recommends one condition to have the switch off: driving on gravel surfaces. The icon on the dash turns on steady when the system is turned off. With the system ON the icon will illuminate in a blinking fashion and the car shall exhibit jerks as wheels spin. With switch ON, a steady icon means the system has automatically been shutdown due to a malfunction. Thanks

it is possible retrofit ESP? My TT is from 1999 ,1.8T quattro 180hp

@jordanjamestt8197 4 жыл бұрын

After taking a quick glance online it doesn't look like you can now unfortunately. The ESP was only retrofitted by Audi as part of the 2001 recall. You might be able to get the sturdier suspension parts fitted at a backstreet garage but the ESP electronic system system itself likely not. I apologies I can't be much more help. Thanks for messaging :D

Yes it is possible u will need several things tho. Tbh tho it's not worth it unless u have a parts car to pull from and are able to do the job urself otherwise u will spend to much and could have simply had spent ur money on one with it. Been there done that.

@pokecollect32 4 жыл бұрын

I can post what's needed if anyone wants to tackle the job. Keep in mind tho it will cost way more money than it's worth and is a waste of time money effort. For the money spent on esp conversion could easily be money very well spent for major power mods and other updates that could be done. Just my two cents tho.
