on the td4 2014 is there a way to engage the traction control system (TCS) to stop the free wheel from spinning out but disengage the electronic stability control's engine power reduction? is there a setting in the terrain response that does that?
i want the traction-less wheel to not spin out with TCS but i don't want the power reduction of the ESC

Could you let us know what kind of situation you are in where this is needed?

You could try "Sand" mode with the DSC still on and the gear lever in Command Shift and change gears manually. Otherwise the engine likes to rev its tits off in Sand mode.

But if you are in sand you want that DSC turned off or it will bog you pretty quickly.
