like the title says my traction control light has come on and will not go off, ive had the car plugged in and there are no faults recorded, but after plugging it in the light went out, then after ticking over for 10 seconds it was back on.

all help much appreciated.

my abs light is fine, it is just the traction control light, as soon as you reset the ecu it goes out then within 10 seconds of starting it again its back on.

could be the maf (air flow sensor) theses fail often.
easiest ways to check are using vag com or swap with someone elses (must be exactly same part number).

if its this it will be about £80 exchange from dealer



would this bring on the t/c/light then? the engine management seems to stay off

like I said then.... the right equipment

RAC & AA tools are gash & rarely work (properly) on SEAT's

Vagcom or 1551/2 machine is what's needed

is it doing it only post remap?

probably a maf failure... but I wonder if the ECU wires are connected right if you've had that out?

it started before i removed the ecu, but it was just after premier tuning tried to remap my car and failed.
