Why on earth would you want to turn off your ESP?

So you can drive the car how you want to, and not how audi would like you to

Under harsh driving conditions the ESP can activate and put you into limp mode or cut power.
Its not for everyone to turn the ESP off but a help for peeps on the track or strip.

Does this turn off the ESP fully or does it do the same as pushing the ESP button on the dash?

This turns off the ESP and keeps it off untill reactivated by VCDS.
Dash button ESP is an ornament.

Sorry for me being dumb, so are u saying it completely disables ESP ? Because I always turn my ESP off when I get in the car but it's not 100% off. U still get some restriction. An does the ESP light always stay on? Sorry for the q's it's just I am so hoping it does what I think it does.

Pretty sure the ME7 ABS code is the same across both models, but until someone looks into it and tries the fix, who knows.
Sometimes us V6ers have some useful titbits of info.

On a track or strip I can understand, or even turning it off temporarily with a button on the dash, but turning it off permanently for road use would seem a bit OTT.

Or are we basically saying that the TT ESP system is over zealous and could do with taming a bit?

Disabling ESP..

Connect your lead via your PC, then go through the following options..
Soft
Code
ESP Bit
V
Original: 23049 = 101101000001001 ABS/ESP/EDL
-2048 = 100000000000 (ESP Bit)
New: 21001 = 101001000001001 ABS/EDL (no more ESP)

To perform it:
VCDS -> Coding -> 07 Login 40168
Coding 11 -> Enter 21001 in place of 23049 and "Do it" button

The ESP dash light should now always be off and this function is permanently disabled.
