traction control?

[Mittsoff]

I am looking for a way to turn off traction control in my 2011 tdi jetta dsg. Does anyone outthere know off a way.

What is the down side to having Traction Control on?

 

[Mittsoff]

when driving in snow of you become stuck in a small amount of snow say about 4 or 5 inches traction control prevents yo from spinning your tires and makes getting unstuck almost impossible.

Once your stuck, as a last resort you could remove the fuse for the ABS system/ESC system. One fuse contols both. That should allow the wheels to spin.
I did see a post somewhere that said the ESC system(electronic stability control,aka traction control) doesnt work under a certain speed.

Is this theory, or experience with this particular car?
