Thread: Anti-stall - bypass

turning off the traction!
TD5 / Xtreme traction control ?

and that was just 4 picked at random from the result pages.

What I really really want to see is the switch for turning off marketing **** Speak.

Do you have a switch?

I just find 1000 rpm to fast on really steep rock decents and as hard as you try break the throttle just opens up to keep 1000.
I guess it sounds like i'll have to live with it. I just assumed because when you depress the clutch the revs drop so in theory you could fool it with a bridge. Guess not if there is a link to a speed sensor.
Anyway - interesting arguments for and against none the less.

nope partly because if you want to disable it in a deefer there is an inbuilt way of doing it more because I drive a series.

If so was it as easy as a switch across the clutch pressure switch and did the dealers have anything to say about it.

OK... I think we're getting our terminology confused here:

• Anti-stall is there no matter what gear you're in.
• The idle-jack raises the engine idle speed when in 1st Lo.

From your description, you're talking about the idle jack rather than anti-stall.

So, why do you want to turn it off???

FWIW - The idle jack is there because 1st Lo is sooooo low that without it the car can produce too much engine breaking and start to slide.

Yep... I have to agree. If you don't want the electronic systems, get an older car!

You have to face it that electronic systems are now a fact of life for EVERY modern car and that a laptop with diagnostics have now become a part of the toolkit. (Most people carry a laptop anyway when they go on a trip.)

There's nothing wrong with having electronics, it just means that the 'old dogs' need to learn one or two 'new tricks'.
