If they do include switchable esc then goodbye xdl because that's basically what controls the xdl, aka esc applying the brake on the front inside wheel when you go into a corner too hot. Mp4-12c does exactly the same thing but on the inside rear wheel.

Wait a minute, gavs. Why do you have to say good bye to the xdl? Why can't it just not function while your esp is switched off, but back on again when you switch esp back on?
BTW, I'm not in my car at the moment, but I could swear I have a switch on the dash to turn it off... could I be wrong?2011 Polo GTI | Black | 5 doors | Comfort pack | Audio pack | 9w7 Bluetooth | Xenons - a Return to VW!

Off doesn't mean off, contrary to whatever crap the salespeople tell you. Xdl is a false acronym that vw have created because the "extended differential lock" translates to "esc braking the inside front wheel", it has nothin to do with the differential at all. If you turn esc off then the software to utilise the xdl function would need to be entirely re-written. They would be better off chucking it and just putting an LSD in instead...sigpic

The switch just turns of traction control (despite it says ESP).Comment
