The threat I linked to also has info on this. Some cars seem to have issues selecting Deactivated. This one took a while to find and props to GIAC for finding it.

You should see a “Coding accepted” if this part is complete. In byte 29 (the last one which read 09), change it to either 05 or 06.I personally went with value 06 on my car. There are two alternative value options to pick from which work slightly differently when you press the traction control button. Some values also have popup help with other useful information such as test conditions, standard values etc. This also shows how to get your computer talking to your car. Under each value is text which indicates what the value is. This is how to connect your computer to your VAG Cable. The data is displayed in table form with the values clearly labelled. All available live data can be displayed using VCDS. This first part enables the way to fully disable ESC. VCDS / VAG-COM - Viewing Live Sensor Data. It also assumes you understand what these changes are doing and the responsibility. This guide assumes you know how to use VCDS or translate according for ODB11. There is also the torque limiter that kicks in, if you have a DSG tune with increased clamping power or an upgraded clutch that and handle it, this might be something you also want to disable. In later years of the MK7 I want to say 2019+ the torque limiter disable doesn’t work and no workaround has been found yet as of the writing of this. You have the option to press a button and turn off ASR and log press that same button to set ECS to sport mode, but not disable. By default the traction control for US model MK7 GTI’s are setup with both ESC and ASR full enabled.
