As yours is 2WD I'm a bit curious what's the status of Electronic Differential Locks now. Below measurement values (ABS controller) from a 4Motion. Just realized that I don't have a map of 2WD to compare. Just thinking that 2WD wouldn't need diff locks at rear4 motion has nothing to do with hill descent assist. This feature is controlled by ABS unit. The only correlation between HDA and 4 motion is that both are kind of "designed" for off road use.
Please see below the video again.
I have 2 wheel drive and my HDA works like a charm. I actually have tested it few times already and I am 100% happy with its functionality.
Today I finally received all the parts and got TC On/Off and HDA switches fitted/connected and can confirm both functions work perfectly fine! Thank you very much all of you for this thread. Special thanks @Robert for helping me with the wiring diagram.
The ABS pins (repair wire) are available on ebay part number 000979025E 5pcs for £6 delivered (still have 2-3pcs I can post them to you free of charge). The switches I order new from Germany (but it works out more or less the same if you buy directly from VW, they quoted me around £22 per switch). The plugs I ordered on ebay (used, with all the wiring attached) part number 4D0971636E or 4D0971636 (some trimming will be required) they came from Poland in a week.
Cheers for the kind offer mister, that will be fab
PM me and will post over the weekend. how many you will need?

What does this mean? That HDA has no effect on a 2WD?There you go
View attachment 55169and as expected HDA makes no difference
No, it just means that the EDS function is available on 2WD on the rear wheels, too.What does this mean? That HDA has no effect on a 2WD?
