Hello, I'm fairly new on here only had my cupra on the road for about 6 weeks! Anyway, got a problem with the ABS and TCS systems on the car, basically both lights are on. The TCS system doesn't work at all, the car brakes fine though not sure if ABS is on or not, i'v not anchored up hard...

I have had my ibiza fr tdi for a week now so im still getting to grips with everything and learning about all the parts etc. I have just left town to come home (5 miles) and just by chance i was in a multistory car park so it was dark and i realised driving out my tcs light was just red...

Cars just come back from Seat Dealer after having door seal warranty fixes. They also removed carpet etc as I wanted it properly dried. Tried to open my filler cap cover today (with the button) and it wouldnt release. Oh crap ! Before I went hunting for fuses etc, I pressed the TCS button and...

Hi, im new to this forum after years of owning subarus, ive bought a mint w reg leon 20vt sport cheap as a runabout. i hit a fox in my first week of ownership so i fitted a cupra r front bumper and was all set for buying side skirts and rear bumper when the epc and tcs light came so ive searched...

My car is going into the dealer (again) this thursday for some warranty work (fixing stuff they :censored: up, when fixing something else!!! after having it before that to fix my original problem - you get the picture!!:cry: ). I have had a problem with the traction control when going over...

If i crashed my car and the TCS button was off, or broke and wouldnt switch back on, would the insurance still pay out?

is it me or does the altea drive faster and more precise with the traction control system off ? coming down a slippery hill today i really didnt like the felling it gave me, very unstable i thought , then driving home switching it on and off i much prefered it without , accelaration was much...

Hey was sitting at traffic lights this morning an when pulled away the tcs light flickered and i could hear a kinda grinding noise as if it was trying to prevent it from spinning was sitting in a queue at roadworks so i know i wasn't going fast enough for them to spin. Anyone experienced this?????:(

Just a simple question. My leon has TCS button, what is that for, if i press it symbol appears on my dash. some times when im driving it comes up. whats does this tcs buttopn does and wat are the advantages? Advice would be apreciated:lol:

when you switch off the traction control does the abs still work? ive done a search but didnt find what i was looking for. also what type of diff is in a 2001 cupra ?? cheers rich

just been out for some testing on my private air strip and got some iffy results how much control does traction control actually have once you've switched it off..i dont believe its fully off but abit shocked if what im hearing/feeling at full wack is the tcs cutting in? floor it, car pulls...

In my 02 Cupra R, the large TCS button above my radio / trip computer screen doesn't seem to actually do anything? I press it, no lights come on or go off, I press it again... the same - nothing. I assume the TCS system is off, as I never feel it cutting power or stopping wheel spin (I can...

I have recently bought a 2000 Model Seat Ibiza Cupra 20vt. This car has a TCS button on the dash which obviously disables the traction etc. The traction control does what it should do i.e. tries to stop the wheels form spinning when I am being foolish in 1st and 2nd gears, especially in the wet...

Need a bit of help really. As the title says the Tcs light is flickering on and off.. Most days while its good weather i've had the tcs turned off anyway because its only a hinderance but because its flickering on and off it sometimes turns the Tcs back on again.... Its fairly intermitant so...

to cut a long story short... spilt a load of salt on the handbrake console (don't ask!) Got a Car Interior Wipe and gave it a good clean. Suddenly... TCS button 'pops' through the air and lands in the footwell. 'Bizarre' thinks me. Picks it up.. pops it back in and pushes it into place...

Any idea why this is happening anyone ?? Tried Disconnecting the battery

Hi, on my FR it obviously has the TCS button, I dont really have a clue what it does. I know what it stands for butam just a bit lost as to why its needed on a 150bhp car. Is the car quicker straight line with it off? Just after a plebs guid to TCS really. Cheers

Do people tend to drive there car with TCS on or off? I switch mine off when playing alone,or on when driving normal or with girlfriend and baby in the car. Now i have heard rumours that when the TCS is on the BHP is lower,is this all the time or only when trying to boot it and it kicking...
