Traction control light fault

213 Views 3 Replies 2 Participants Last post by  Guido
Hi so I’ve encountered an issue potentially within my drive chain system.. the car drives fine until I was slowing down and parking the car jolted and the traction control light came on

However the car seems to drive fine after this happens. The light goes off etc after turning the car off and on

It’s happened now a few times and each time the jolt has got worse

Could this possibly be an issue with the transfer box ? had anyone else seen or know of this issue
Please help

Ps. Mk5 r32 manual

A few of questions to help you diagnose. What speed is this occuring? Do you have Vag com? Is it a hard jolt or more like an ABS activation?

I don’t have vag com anymore! 😢 So this only happens after I have been driving for a while, not just to the shops
It’s a hard jolt almost feels like the car skips a few inches and only when say your going slow for example trying to park etc as that’s when it’s happened weird it’s not happening at traffic lights assuming because the wheels are straight
You're gonna need to get that scanned w/ Vag com. I'm sure there's a fault stored somewhere that will give you an idea where to look for the issue.
