View Full Version : Traction Control intermitent...?

Hi guys....

I occasionally get the traction control light come up on the dash with "traction control service required" appearing as well.....I say occasionally, it has happened twice in 3 weeks.

The car feels no different but when that warning does come up it affects my overrun and initial acceleration.

If you put your foot down in 2nd at say 2000rpm upwards and then take your foot off fairly quickly, usually there is a smooth drop off in acceleration, but when this warning light is on it is very harsh almost like hitting a wall....as if there is immediate engine braking straight after.....

Anyone else had this??

Thanks
