My mum has been out for a drive in her recently purchased Ibiza FR-TDI today and noticed that when the traction control kicks in, Instead of flickering on and off, It stays on until the engine is turned off and on again. At least I think its the traction control light anyway... The one which is...

Can you buy just the button as a replacement ? Somehow mines fallen off and it looks asthough some pegs are broken off it. Its fitted back in and seems secure but would rather replace it. Cheers guys.

Hi Guys, For some strange reason, after a while of driving my Traction control light appears on the dash. Iv tried turning the TCS on and off, doesnt work. If i turn the ignition off and on again, it disappears? Any ideas? Cheers, Anthony

Hi, Has anyone installed a Racelogic Traction Control system on the Seat Leon Cupra or Cupra R and do you have any information on how to install this. I know the Toyota Supra's easily adapt to this and its easy to install on them also alot of the modified Jap cars have had Racelogic TC...

I have put my rear wheels to the front when I replaced the front. I was driving today and the light just came on by itself, no wheel spin or anything. I got the wheels balanced on the front and when I did that I measured the tyre tread on the front and found that there was approx 1mm...

Hi All My traction control light is now on permanently on on my dash on my 52 plate Cupra R, just had it checked and it seems its a steering sensor thats gone, anyone had this happen if so how much would it be to have this fitted etc.... :confused: any advice or feedback would be really...

Was on my way to go and watch the england match last night down my local pub, when my traction control light came on without me pressing the button, and i cant turn it off. This has happened before, but when i have turned the car off and then turned it back on, the TC light has turned off and...

Hi Guys Noticed a week ago upon starting my car the TCS light remained illuminated after starting the car, I turned off the ignition and then back on and light went out, However i have noticed when im certain the wheels are spinning up the light no longer flickers like it used too telling me...

Finding it relatively easy to spin the wheels on the 1.6 XL with the TCS on, especially if I have a bit of lock on. This is not to say that the wheels spin when I don't want them to, just that I can make them spin quite easily if I do want to. Does this suggest a problem with the system or...

Can anyone help, My ABS & traction lights are constantly on, they came on on my way to work this morning, turning the traction button on and off makes no difference. I've had a search through and think I've narrowed it down to 3 things, ABS Sensor, Knackered MAF or Coolent temp sensor...

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 :P probably not possible, but would be good if it is ;)

What a lovely feature this is when its wet, without it I really would not enjoy driving the car when wet. However, its sooooo harsh, the difference with having it on to off is huge, I dont want to have the wheels spinning everywhere, but it seems to hold the car back a considerable amount...

Hi guys Tried to search for this but can't find anything with all three problems together. On my way to Bournemouth today. On the way i turn the air con on. Revs drop as normal and hear it kick in but!! No cold air coming through the vents only slightly warm air. Then after about an hours...

Hi Anyone else had this? I have had a few occasions where the traction control warning light (the one that flashes when you stick your foor down in the wet) comes on and stays on. Usually happens if I jump in my car and start away quickly. Doesnt turn off even if I press the diasable...
