KW ESC Module for Audi RS5
KW’s ESC Module for Audi RS5 is the small component that makes a proper coilover conversion possible on a car built around its own adaptive dampers. Remove those dampers and the car objects immediately, with fault codes and cluster warnings no amount of mechanical work will silence. This module, developed and built by KW in Fichtenberg, Germany, takes the place of the factory damper signal so the car accepts the change, and it keeps the in-cabin drive mode selection working as before. It is not a part anyone buys for its own sake; it is the part that lets the suspension underneath be chosen on merit rather than dictated by the wiring loom.
Why It Is Needed
- Vehicles delivered with electronically controlled dampers expect to see them on the bus, and fitting conventional KW coilovers removes that hardware, which the control unit reads as a fault. The ESC Module for Audi RS5 supplies what the control unit is looking for, so the dashboard stays clean and the drive mode switch keeps functioning, while damping is set by hand at the coilover itself.

Notes
- Sold as a single module
- The ESC Module for Audi RS5 is required only when the factory electronically controlled dampers are being removed; a car retaining its original adaptive dampers does not need it
- Fit it alongside the coilover kit. For this chassis the matching kits are KW DDC Plug and Play Coilover Kit for Audi S3 (39010058).
- KW builds cancellation modules for many chassis and they are not interchangeable; this part number is specific to the vehicles listed under Applications
Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the KW ESC Module for Audi RS5 do? It replaces the signal the factory adaptive dampers send to the car once those dampers are removed for a KW coilover installation. Without it the car logs faults and puts warnings on the instrument cluster. The module keeps the vehicle electronically satisfied that its original suspension is still connected.
- Do the in-cabin drive modes still work? Yes. The module maintains the function of the drive mode selection inside the cabin after the factory electronic dampers have been removed, so the mode switch continues to operate normally rather than returning an error. Damping itself is then set by hand on the KW coilovers.
- Do I need this module with KW coilovers? Only if the car left the factory with electronically adjustable dampers. Where it did, removing that hardware to fit conventional coilovers requires this module to prevent fault codes and dashboard warnings. A car built without adaptive damping does not need it at all.
- Is the ESC Module for Audi RS5 a plug-in installation? The module connects into the existing factory damper wiring in place of the original units. It is normally fitted at the same time as the coilover kit, since both jobs involve the same connectors, and no dealer coding or software work is required for the module itself.
- Which vehicles does this module cover? This part number covers the Audi RS5 built between 2013 and 2015, across 2 listed variants shown under Applications. KW builds separate modules for other generations, so match the part to the exact chassis before ordering.
- Where is the KW ESC Module for Audi RS5 made? KW designs and manufactures the module at its headquarters in Fichtenberg, Germany, alongside the coilover systems it is built to work with. KW has produced suspension there since 1995 and supplies vehicle manufacturers, professional tuners and race teams worldwide.
