I spoke with my dealer today and was informed that ESP will be on the cars over 200hp only which would be the 6 cylinder model and of course the W8. Can anyone confirm or deny this? I ordered a 2003 1.8 thinking I was getting ESP. He got this info from his midwestern regional manager. Any clarification would be helpful.

I Believe he is very wrong, 200 hp, the 2.8l liter stays the same rated, and I have heard through lots of sources that ESp will be a 280 buck option, and even on other vw models too, can VWguild confirm this, he is the first I heard from!!!
Thanks, and good luck

I have not heard that specifically. I also ordered a 2003 1.8T and the dealer specified ESP on the order. He informed me last week that he had received a commision number so who knows. Also, if 200hp is your guide, the V-6 2.8L wouldn't have ESP either. I feel sort of like a mushroom about now....

ESP is optional on all 2003 model Passats except the W8 Passat where it is standard equipment.

Jamie, can you confirm that on other VW, like the GTI, and Jetta 1.8t?
Thanks

I got a commission number for my 2003 1.8T Passat GLS, and the order specified ESP.
