Cool Esp

Have been perusing the forum for an answer to my question b4 asking. All I can find is what the ESP symbol means and what is is. My question is this, my 03 TT 1.8 has an ESP button on the dash. If I push it the symbol displays on my tac.. Does that mean it's on? No snow or ice here in Florida. I'm an old fart and not into kicking the back end loose. Perhaps use it in the rain? (Don't wanna get the car dirty) Thanks in advance.

It basically turns off the Traction Control. Makes for more fun driving in the snow... But since you're in Florida, it's useless.

ESP light showing on the dash means traction control is disabled. Normally the light is off.

Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of my 928. It's in storage languishing away awaiting me to reassemble the interior at my Dad's old shop building. I bought it in 1994 and drove it a couple of years. Parked it but still continued to drive my 944. I still have it also. I need to down the 944 and restore it before rust starts to eat it up. I have 2 other 944's. An 88S that I've got running but need to finish up some interior work on it. I'll be driving it while I work on my original 87. I also picked up an 87S that needs an engine. I was hoping to score an S2 engine to put in it and make it a "sleeper".
