After I lifted my Golf4 sedan 4Motion 1.9 TDI, 90 hp, with AGR seats, manufactured in 2000, I started experiencing problems with the ESP system.
As reported in other forums, the ESP (Electronic Stability Program) can sometimes activate in extreme left-hand turns on the Volkswagen Golf 4.

It was recommended that the brake electronics be adjusted to match the lift kit, i.e., re-programmed.

No other modifications; wheels are standard (205/55R16, all the same, including tread depth).

I have the following control unit installed (MK20):

Address 03: Brake Electronics
Label file: DRV\1J0-907-37x-ESP-A.lbl
Part number: 1J0 907 379 AB
Component: ESP 20 CAN V005
Coding: 00214
Operating number: WSC 31414
VCID: 71EF8E9D3B2F4AC22A-4B18

Is it possible to use a different encoding than 00214? If so, which encoding should I use?
VCDS does not provide any suggestions when attempting to recode.

The topic has already been discussed here, but only in relation to the MK60.

Hello,

Recoding of the ESP/ABS system is a sensitive matter from a safety perspective. I would suggest searching on Google for vehicles with your specific VAG part number and comparing the coding information.

In case of emergency, a visit to the icon_smile.gif might help.

Best regards, Rainer.

Yes, there are very few parts left that were originally installed in the Golf 4 4Motion.
Regarding icon_smile.gif, I find it difficult... It's been decades since I was there, and my knowledge is only tangential, having only seen the results of what goes on there.
Ross Tech inquiry: initial response, then silence. I thought something similar to the support for MK60 might be coming.
I'll probably have to recalibrate everything and then figure something out... It's my winter car; thankfully, my 124 doesn't have anything like that.
Thank you.
Best regards, Hartmut.
