Thread: Octavia DSG ESP Options

I'll go & listen to the answerphone message again to see what it says and I'll come back to you. Listened to the message again & it says that ESP is STANDARD on all DSG models, however there was no with effect from date on it, so you may want to ask them yourself to double check whether your SE is so equipped. Sorry I can't be anymore help.

Indiana, re yours 9th Nov, congratulations on getting a positive reply from Skoda which is good news for the rest of us who have paid extra for ESP - thank you. Just to be sure, presumably the person who 'phoned you meant that ESP has always been standard from the introduction of DSG for SE and Elegance models in the 7/09 brochure, and is not just referring to the present position (as correctly shown in the 10/09 brochure as per my post...

As I started this thread I thought I would add that my 1.4 TSI DSG came with an ESP Off button so I assume I have it. Hill hold certainly seems to work as well!

I've read the thread. Well, that's the EDL I mentioned - not a mechanical but an electronical diff lock (or limited slip diff). What a relief, that leaves room for something else in my car! It is getting crowded inhere... The 'extended' ESP (with EDL, DSR, HBA, ...) came with the face lift, earlier this year.

Re: Octavia DSG ESP Options You don't get the full ESP package unless you shell out for it at £365. What you do get is ABS + MBA + MSR + ASR. The extras get you EDL + HBA (what ever that is) Yep, the MFSW comes with Maxi-Dot included.

It seems to be a Limited Slip Diff but controlled electronically...

Re: Octavia DSG ESP Options Anyone know what all these abbreviations mean - I did some googling before and couldn't really get an answer... Starting with the ones I'm pretty sure of: ABS = anti lock brakes, adjusts braking at each wheel to stop them locking up, giving steering control while braking MBA? MSR? ASR = Skid reduction - cuts power to the engine when it detects that the driven wheels are skidding under acceleration (My car...
