TCS goes on in long mellow corner on speedway

[Witalik]

Hey guys !

i have a problem when i drive on the speedway with something like 120 km/h and when i am in a mellow corner nothing special or tight and when i give the full throttle my outer wheel goes in a spin and the TCS kicks in ?? (dry road no moisture or something)

is it possible some thing like a suspension is hanging lose ? or something else that is attached to the drive train ??

or do u guys have similiar problems ?

Seems bizarre the outer wheel spins on an unmoddified car in a corner at 120kph. In a corner you'd expect the outer tyre to be under load as the cars weight is leaning to that side.

Are your tyres in good shape right across the tyres profile (not worn on the inner edges?)

is there much difference between front and rear tyre tread depths..

i had a 206 with low tread on back and brand new on front and had this problem..

tc will kick in on tight corners with hard throttle... the cars trying its best to make you go Round that corner not straight on into a field. The o/s front drive shaft(on uk spec cars) has a shorter FAT drive shaft, for this reason it is more likely one to spin and the reason you get torque steer in straight lines when accelerating hard thus pulling you to the left (n/s)
as for high speed cornering, your most likely drifting a little and the tc is doing the same as before.
to rule anything else out though, make sure your cv gaitors are secure (no grease on the reluctor rings) (AKA speed sensor rotor, pulse ring or what ever you want to call it) and check wiring to sensors (not shorting/going open circuit)

if your still having probs... turn the tc off and nail it round a tight ish corner... bet you have to ease off or lock it right over to make it go round the corner!!
mellow corners you'll just drift a little!

Good luck and let us know how you get on!

the tires are in good shape nothing is really worn or anything....
because when i do a tight corner with 50 km/h or so it goes very straight no spinning or anything.

but you guys dont experience somehings like this ?

and vee_dub_modder what exactly do u mean ?

u mean maybe the sensors of the TC are faulty or dirty ?

should it not give also problems with tight corners then ?
