Anyone know or working on how to disable the hill assist. Been driveing manual for 5 years and the unpredictibility of it is driveing me insane and ive only had the car for 2 days. It has caused me to kill the car numerous times. I am not looking for people to tell me why it is nice to have or input anything on why i should keep it.

Do you have dsg or manual?
Can't you just turn off auto hold?

Manual and not there is no way to disable it with the infotainment

Next to the gearstick is a button marked "auto hold"...

Hill assist and auto hold are not the same thing.

Yes, I agree - Hill Hold is something that is either a blessing from an omnipotent deity, or it is the work of the devil.
It certainly does tend to polarize VW drivers!! I'm in the former category - but not for religious reasons (it's because my cars have auto transmission)
So, I'm not sure about MQB-evo cars - it was easier with the previous MQB platform cars to manage Hill Hold's operation.
Anyway, I've noticed that there is an adaptation channel in the hex03 module with the intriguing name:
- Production mode-Vehicle holding function
On the MQB-evo cars in my database, the factory setting for this channel is deactivating. I wonder if changing the value to not active has the desired result?
To be crystal clear, I don't know what changing this value will do - I'm just sharing an observation

Production mode is triggered in the factory and development to prevent functions to work as they should later on the road. The in its inner workings is untouched, no faults are being sent for these functions (everything is lit up and running)
Some examples:
* You do not want to brakes to grip automatically when trollying the car from position to position
* You do not want the windows washers to turn on.
* You do not want to the horn or theft detection to sound.
I doubt you can change that adaption without the EOL-SFD token. I also doubt that this will have an effect.
Hill hold was somewhere in the undocumented coding for MQB. I can imagine this stayed the same as it was for the engine, so you can probably use an documentation for the older Golfs - but no warranties from my side.
This is different to transport mode where the functions are reduced to the absolute minimum needed for loading and unloading the car.

Can I just add that "production mode" sounds like the default mode for customers. Is this an exact translation?

My god this has been killing me too. I've driven a manual every day for over 25yrs and all of a sudden I can't drive stick on a hill LOL.. But it bothered me so much yesterday I found a steep hill and "figured it out". I'm confident it's not designed for properly educated manual drivers, but I can say that as of today (it was just last night that I messed with it for about 30 minutes on a quiet hill) - that I feel comfortable. I want to disable it but my wife is about to learn stick on this car and I'd prefer it to still be there for her. Here is what I learned.
When I'm on a steep hill....
clutch foot all the way down (I did the ECS Clutch stop mod, OMG It's a game changer), threaded to 50% exactly like the youtube video suggests and it worked like a charm)
take my foot off the brake and begin to apply gas, I don't feather, I just get it to about 1500rpm
then i ease off the clutch as if I was sitting flat and as it begins to bite, the auto-brake drops off and just at that moment, I give it more gas to ease thru the shift. It's funny and stupid to have to teach myself and other manual drivers how to drive... but try this out (or go practice on your own). I promise once you get a feel for how this dumb feature wants to you drive, you'll be fine).

It's a three count after foot off brake.

The trick is when on a hill, clutch in and wait for the car to start creeping backwards. When the car starts creeping backwards, that's when you know the hill assist is disengaged. Proceed to give it gas while letting off the clutch. Took me a few months to figure this out because I thought I had to time the hill assist disengaging and would try to drive through it thus killing the car.

I've searched everywhere in OBDeleven for a setting. There is none. You would have to change the bits in the long coding and without knowing what those bits do, it's risky.

I can't wait until someone much smarter than me figures this out! ...I also detest that hill hold!

Keeping an eye on this thread. My 2024 is a little to aggressive with the hill assist as well. I'd love to dial it back, or disable it!

My sources told me that hill start coding and coding parsing has been different throughout the software versions of the ESC control module.
The coding definitely differs between old MQB and the Golf 8.
They suspect that either the function is hardcoded to a certain point or dataset-driven. So without having very deep sources and probably a spare ESC module I see no chance here

Bummer. I guess I just have to learn to love it then! Thanks for the info.

This is tragic news to see. The hill hold is unbearable for me. I've gotten a bit used to it but i stall the car half the time.

I will agree the hill hold is dumb. sometimes it feels like it grabs way harder frustrating to say the least.
