Thanks for posting this, I didn't even realise the ABS/ESP module had a separate code for Auto/Manual.
I found this on Rosstech. After we recode the Engine chip to manual, we need to recode the ABS/ESP chip to Manual.
Seems like all that needs to change is last digit in the 5-digit code. It should be 7 currently for auto, and we need to re-code it to 5.
Looks like this ABS/ESP chip needs a log in to change the code.
I know it says for A4, but it seems the A8 codes are the same?
