    Hill holder, turn off?

    For the MK7 with 6MT is there a way to disable the hill holder function? Didn't find any other discussion except one old unanswered post quoted here. I have no problem driving a manual either and find the hill holding function annoying. Almost always holds the brakes harder than necessary...
