DanGull Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 If you have it fitted on your Zetec S - remember it's not standard - then there is a button on the centre console in front of the handbrake to turn it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Dan, I got mine from a ford salesman so didn't pick the spec. Would of picked the 17's and Traction Control to what what i have now. I love it all the same tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It used to add the side skirts too, but they're no standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harweyko Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 If you do not have button you can also remove the fuse :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanGull Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 If you don't have the button and it's a Zetec S - the car doesn't have ESP... Although, that's a damn good idea for my Titanium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewL Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 If you do not have button you can also remove the fuse :D I was wondering why no-one had suggested that yet! I remember someone said that when Clarson did the 'test' on the Fiesta in the shopping centre they just removed the ABS and ESP fuses.

LeeZetecS Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share Posted December 22, 2009 Cost and time of installing the EPS for a Zetec S is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny87 Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Cost and time of installing the EPS for a Zetec S is? 50p only joshin ya! Probably either not possible or not possible without spending a hell of a lot of ££££££ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeZetecS Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share Posted December 22, 2009 50ponly joshin ya! Probably either not possible or not possible without spending a hell of a lot of ££££££ So a pre-build option. Maybe for the next one then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InstructorPiggy Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 its only a ECU program...can't imagine it being that tricky...probably just a setting in the ECU main controls...need right programing from Ford tho to do it....bet thats all it is...its a very simple traction control system...just cuts power and takes readings from ABS sensors. but...why would you want it??????

DanGull Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 It's a little bit more sophisticated than 'just cuts power' Piggy - that suggests that all it does is kill the engine completely if it detects the wheels spinning. It's able to do it independently to each front wheel for start, and it's sophisticated enough to be able to detect the amount of 'cut' that is needed. For actual driving - I like it, but I would like to be able to remove it for when I want to do a fast start as I am more than capable of controlling the clutch myself - I find the system kicks in just a little too early for my liking, revs high and right on the verge of wheel spin for example.

I know how the systems work bud...no point me going into specifics...I would wear me fingers out typing...but it is one of the simplest systems on the market...hence the complaints ya'll are having about it. It doesn't kill engine completely I know, it depends on the slip it detects, but the 'solution' it has it cutting back on the power...nothing else...that what I am saying... Not saying that it should be better...it aint no M3 or AMG merc, just a festa...but just stating what I know about the systems...may help explain some of the complaints about it!?? maybe people expecting too much of a basic system :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrefryer Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 How do you turn it off? All you need is the OFF button, € ~27.- note: doesn't work if you have the front PDC !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny87 Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 what is front PDC? Do you know if fitting it affects warranty? Also did you buy the part from a ford garage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrefryer Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Oh right!Why wont it work with PDC?? Because then you already have a pdc-button, which is not compatible with this esp-off button. (only front pdc !) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
