planning to install a switch to block abs, for snow driving.anybody tried that?
is that hard to do? i dont have any idea about electric/electronic will just take the car to electrician and ask him to do that. can he damage something else while doing that. cause i remember on a mercedes abs is working with asd.when you cancel one the other one also goes off.
would like to hear any experiences on this pls

I thought that was a part of the rear difflock switch anyhow? I think on the 3B s2's they have an ABS switch on them. Not certain though

Shouldn't be a problem, ABS is independent in RS2. In fact at least the ยด91 S2 I had earlier, had the abs switch as standard.

We do a bit of snow driving in Finland too, but never felt that I'd need to switch off the ABS in the winter, quite the opposite. What you would like to work in the snow is the hand brake, commonly a weak point in RS2's...
