Hi,

I have noticed that I can disconnect my ESP (ASR) at whatever speed I like. Should this happen or are all the reports wrong that say only above 35 Mph it can be disconnected?

Rowdy.

You can if you have the Cup pack

 

[Guest]

Oh right. Winner. I am sure it says 35Mph for the 225 Cup also. Mine is a proper Cup.

 

[cactusbob]

Although the current Renaultsport site doesn't seem to mention it anymore

I've never understood that 'above 35mph' statement. I can turn mine off at any spees as well. Usually only do it when i'm at the lights though. :twisted:

 

[cactusbob]

I think its so you can have a bit more fun around a track without using the driver aids. Think it's only the full fat where it comes back on at 35?

 

[Alex]

its a feature of the cup pack.

it can be disconnected perminantly if you have a full fat version by finding someone with a clip machine who is willing to set the maximum esp cut in to like 200 mph as opposed to 35 mph.

 

[dultanur]

by clip machine do you mean the computer thingy they connect from the obd port?

 

[Alex]

yup

 

[dultanur]

sooo why doesnt everyone do this? wont the people at the stealers let you?
or do you guys all like it the way it is

 

[Guest]

I have to conceed, I've become -VERY- lazy as I've got a full-fat and am forever kicking in the ESP due to a poor mis-match of tyres on the Meg at the moment...

 

[Guest]

Ask Jon Seal and Paul from RS Tuning about this as i am sure Jon has had this done on his

cheers

Should turning it off increase the power available?? :?: :?:

 

[cactusbob]

Don't think it would make a difference to the power available. Surely it would just give you control of the power rather than interfering when it feels it needs to

 

[Jon Seal]

I have my ASR turned off but not the traction control. It gets rid of the rear wheel braking and mid corner power droputs that the ASR seemed to do under really hard driving

 

[dultanur]

how did you do that? if you know exactly how/where this can be done can you explain so i could get my car done the same way?
thanx

 

[Jon Seal]

its on the renault "clip" diagnostic tool theres a secion where you basically tell the ECU that theres no ASR system, only drawback is that you cant disable the traction control as its lumped in with the ABS on a totally seperate computer so the traction control is enabled all the time now

 

[andy bassett]

must admit i do prefer to drive mine without the TC on most of the toime, it just seems to drive better.

 

[Jon Seal]

the ASR is more intrusive than the traction control for sure, car is a lot better inder hard driving conditions

 

[andy bassett]

sure has, you can realy chuck it about into corners ate and not loost any power, you mat get the wheels spinning from time to time but is just a better drive
