traction control?

[Benny]

Is there anyway to add it on a 1.6se? was doing a instrument test the other day on vag com and noticed its got the light for it but no buttons near handbrake etc.. and roads are quite greasy so would come in handy

probably not possible, but would be good if it is

Traction control would only help you if you spun up pulling away - unlikely on the 1.6 in my experience. Really you'd want ESP to help you with everyday driving - not sure if it's possible - would be difficult I'd imagine

well it does actually wheel spin pulling away from traffic lights when wet. dry no problem. hmm

Just go easier on the throttle. For me, the traction control is a pain rather than a benefit most of the time, and that's on a mapped LCR.

yea i suppose. Suppose it doesn't help having sh1t tyres on. I will eventually change them even on way home from work turned a corner bit too sharp about 15mph n front end just went off.. hmm set of new tyres for xmas i think

Tyres make loads of difference. I remember the car I had before, spinning when I pulled out of my road (wet or dry).... I longed for Traction Control.

Now I have the LC with it, it doesn' t even come on as the tyres are so grippy!!

yea i thought so just checked and they are some sort of generic tyres lol. So tyres have been added to the xmas list Thanks guys
