Hey guys.... I guess this question can go here...
Does anyone know what was the stock value for a Mk7 Golf R (NA/US) is in [03-ABS Brake] > Byte 29? Where you adjust how the ESC button operates?
What did yours come with? Mine was on "08"... is that what everyone else has? I thought it was supposed to be 06?

So after searching for literally weeks, the only thing I can find on this is here:
https://www.golfmk7.com/forums/index.php?threads/esc-coding-discovery.361528/
This kind soul registered 2 years ago to make that thread, didn't receive much attention and didn't really log in again.. but he left some good info... (
@Diggs24 did swing by)
The claim "There are R's with 08 and 88 coding" I cant confirm anywhere.... but it at least confirms that my stock coding "08" was in fact correct...
He sort of compiled info on byte 29, all assumptions by him but very good educated guesses :
On the first digit:
- A if you have ACC and lane assist
- 8 if you have only ACC
- 2 if you have only lane assist
- 0 if you have neither
This would make sense as my car has nothing and its first digit is "0" too...
On the second digit, the conclusion is "6 or 8, might have to do with the diff/haldex"
Which would makes sense as the 08 was a GTI PP thing with the Haldex VAQ and the "08 and 88" in the Golf R with the Haldex AWD....
The guess is that the first digit disables a system (In my case, nothing needs to be disabled)
And the second digit.... keeps "something" enabled? The Haldex?
Could it have anything to do with XDS / EDL? I'm always wondering if it stays on when ESC and ASR are "OFF"....
Research tells me the answer is it does stay on, but obviously its not clear... anyone is welcome to chime in.
