Yes, you can add Hill Hold Contol to 2010 MTs

So I went browsing through the various VAG features and I found this baby inside the ABS controller.


I activated it and it works.

On a manual transmission I don't see how thats possible.

There are a load of options in VCDS but it doesn't mean they can be enabled on your vehicle?

Hill hold is an availBle option on all sorts of MT vehicles in the states. It effectively holds the brakes whole you are on an incline until it senses forward movement and releases them.

Trust me it definitely works. It was enabled on the 2010 DSGs and starting with '11s its enabled on both MT and DSG. Don't know why it wasn't enabled on the '10 MTs but it will work if you enable it via VAG-COM (at least on my GTI, i assume it'll work for the TDI too)

Has anyone tried this on a 2010 TDI MT???

Has anyone tried this is reverse? Would love to get rid of this feature on my 2011 JSW as it causes more stalls than it prevents. Often time you have to rev the engine higher to defeat the brake hold and if you don't, it will just cut the engine.

Yes you can turn it off. I did last night after finding this thread. Woohoo! Never had a need for hill hold in 350000km of my last car, and it was just annoying me.

You can also adjust whether it release early or late, if turned on, in the adaptation channels of the ABS module as well. I didn't try that yet, but maybe I will just for kicks to see what the difference is. It said in VCDS that late means something like "requires higher RPM and clutch slip", while early means "low RPM". So I guess with early it will release more easily....

But honestly, I'm with you in just having it turned off altogether and glad that it is possible to shut it off!
