JBS in the UK can now put in a switch in for the traction control on/off dont know how well it works but but could be handy I think it's around £180 last time I checked
If it's similar to the NAR Beetle TCS mod, it's like OEM. The new button is directly pinned to the ABS module and disables the system like any other vag car. I did it for my Beetle, worked a treat.
I'm almosts seventy years but not old. I love when you drive cars (of course safety checked) and that when they are build by amateurs! It gives me som hope.
Wow, that sounds like an incredibly intense experience! I’m really glad to hear that you and your passenger are okay after such a serious crash. Huge thanks to BMW engineers for building such a safe car. It’s a reminder of how quickly things can go wrong on the track, even with the best preparations. Kudos to the emergency personnel and the hospital staff for their quick response and care. And a special shoutout to the random guy who helped out with water instead of posting insensitive footage. Wishing you both a speedy recovery!
That was the definition of "Tell me you're a wicked fast driver, without saying you're a wicked fast driver". Not overtaken until the very end!! Fantastic!! Hopefully I get to see the outside view of the UP passing the bike and Saab after Brunnchen 😍
This problem also occurs in the Up TSi manufactured here in Brazil. 4 doors, rear windows open entirely by cranks, 285-liter trunk and larger in length, 50-liter fuel tank. Traction control is also impossible to turn off. EA-211 R3 TOTALFLEX. Gasoline or Fuel alcohol from sugar cane. 101 cv with Gasoline and 105 cv with Alcohol. Max speed is 183 km/h and 0-100 km/h in 9,4 seconds.
This vid give me real flashbacks. The first time I saw you wasn't on this channel but on Shmee150's, where you UPset a red Fiat iykyk jajajaja. And since then nurburgring became one of my favourite places in the world and I hope to make it there one day with my own car.
I have a up gti and I fixed the traction control by wiring a button to the tc fuse. Works perfectly but it disables abs as well so keep that in mind. For me that’s not a problem because I drive it all the time lot on gravel and abs on gravel is terrible
There's a solution to turn off TC by adding an additional switch. A retrofit friend of mine sells the service for around €200 including the switch and stuff. Great mod to add to this little beast and any other Up! owner for that matter.
@@happy_keats well, first of all the brazilian has roll down windows in the rear, which we do not have in europe. The door to the bagage, is all glass in Europe, while in Brazil it is half steel. The brazil vw up is longer than the european.. and so on. edit: also 50 liter fuel tank compared to 35l in europe. edit2: the engine in brazil seems to be a 1.0l turbo with 105 hp, while my european up is 75hp non turbo. there are turbos in europe aswell, but they only have 90hp
I like small hatches, wish we had the UP gti in the states. Not being able to turn the traction control off really hurts a car designed for enthusiasts tho. with like 109hp, it really doesnt even need traction control and it would prevent me (and probably many others) from actually buying it.
Used to deliver pizzas in a TSI, when I wanted to go fast I would take out the TC fuse ,its on the battery under the hood.After that you could do pretty much anything
There is a way to deactivate it on jetta's but idk on this one... (ignition on, put the hazerds then press the gas pedal 5 times and then it will do a sound. So you now start the engine and remove the hazards.)
it should be possible to get rid of traction control with VCDS, maybe without button but still. should be possible, check the ABS module, and or maybe there are even custom wire looms with a button. and if you are just want to do the nasty way and get the full experience :D just pull the ABS relay / fuse. BUT do this yea at your own risk.
LF perfomance does these high revving litre tsi up to 300whp, could have been a nice slayer. I wonder if they could handle the oil temps on the ring :D
It's a shame that you can't turn off ESP and TC in the GTI. PS I have e-up! and has problems with traction whenever I try to quickly join traffic from a cross road and TC aditional slowdawn car. Despite my liking for this car, I would now choose the Smart EQ Forfour with RWD.
Here in India we never got UP GTI but we got this same engine in POLO with same 6 speed manual and there is no Traction control shenanigans.. Pure Raw power and wheel spins..
The vw up is a car made exclusively for city driving. I have no idea why VW makes such versions on the GTI for this car.... And a good equipment version could be in the vw up R-line.
Can't you disable the traction control (and ABS) by removing one of the ABS rings on the front? It works on Peugeot's. 😅 Edit: Unplugging the fuse might also work as other are suggesting.
@@FireEye-zd4fm That might work too! I figured it out on my car because the ABS ring broke and removing it was easier than replacing it due to rusted bolts and whatever. 😅
Very interesting to see 👍Absolutely my thoughts about my car. " why?" It makes no sense to me. You want to turn and the car goes straight, because the esp is hammering in. This is not fun. It is dangerous. On the other hand i'm asking myself, if the car would be significantly faster with the esp turned off.
VW with its traction control allmost cost my friends Golf R. When into a corner and and coming out of it i accelerated hard en the it kick in and the side walk was coming closer and closer no power to pul me out of it and he began to stress bc hy told me his rims was neer the huge side walk and at that stage I did know that of you push the botton for the traction-control it dont do much. Luckily my speed entering the corner was slow ( not doing race line or fast in and slow out, myne was fast slow in oky not so slow but slow enough bc it is 4 motion so the gti will only go strait forward. ) he told my his assholl was opening and closing at te same time. Then the power came back and it was not damage . So VW you only get FWD and then so when its slipping back weel drive ( that is nou for the Tiguan)
I have to say that the video surprised me. I'm also not used to seeing Misha drive a "normal" vehicle (apart from the disastrous dynamic control). Perhaps because it is a VW Up, even if it is a GTi, it does not allow you to disconnect it due to the type of customer who would buy it (Personal opinion). Thanks to both of you.
Brilliant to see an Up on track. They are such lovely wee cars - and that's a really nice example. It is ironic you can go out in Europe and buy a Lamborghini SUV, but no longer a car like an Up. Nonsensical.
I wonder, I can hear the same crunching noises from, i think, rear suspension, that I also hear on my wife's Seat Mii when in higher G corners. Is it something, someone could tell me how to get rid off or is it the nature of that beast? 😉🤣

Damn TC kicks really in at every corner. Wonder why Volkswagen chose to do it this way that you can't turn it off in a sporty version of the car.

I wonder ... it's a "not so modern" VW ... with other models you can just program it out.
I wonder if some have different tolerances, I have a 2011 A3 which is no different than a GTI and when I turn it off it lets the wheels spin for days
There are videos on TH-cam showing how to disable TC, as I don't have an VW Up! I couldn't say if they're true.
@@Sandmonmsnthe sub7up never had it fully disabled so I doubt it's possible.

Came to Brazil, Misha. Here, we have vw ups with 300cv
I have the traction control switch from JBS in mine along with the stage 1. Transforms the car!
The engine sounds nice
seeing the traction control causing you to lose traction mid corner is hilarious.
enjoyed that more than some 500bhp... talk about needing to carry momentum.... still 130mph in a small car must feel quick, owner was also really cool
Nothink is better then 1.0 turbo car 😂 thanks for this! Very funny!😂😂🎉
Looks like the blow off doesnt work well after you shifting you have a looot of time before you get boost again.

when I saw Saab... Misha, you have to do the Saab content with Turbo X 2,8 V6 and old 900 2,0t 185hp version. It would be great and special...
this is a road beast well tunned
The UP GTI's weight and power are very like that of the original Golf GTI.

Have you ever driven an Acura tl? More specific 04-09
Those were sold in Europe as a Honda Legend.
But it's fairly rare afaik.
That must be one hell of a flywheel if the clutch engaging is enough to activate TC ...
Saw your post in community it was not your day. Get well soon brother
Nice one
Seeing you drive a small car like this is Up!lifting
search online, to switch off vw up TCS
key on
hazard light on
gas padel 5 times
start engine
don't know will it helps
Nope, that doesn’t work. That is the dyno mode. Once the rear wheels roll the dyno mode turns off

Is that noise into some medium speed corners rubbing?
Popping the hood in a RHD car on the left? Huh. Ref: 00:48
