is there anyway to remove traction control? or put a switch in so it can be turned off and on?

also i heard that it isnt possible to but a strut brace on if u have traction control???

You should have a switch on the dash that allows you to switch it off. Should be just to the lower right of the steering wheel.

i got traction control, and theres a switch there "tcl" and u can switch it on or off. its located near the side mirror switches.

and robsta, u can put a strut brace on a FTO with traction control - i got one

sweet....all i got there is a hole the last owner must have removed the switch for some unknown reason, now its constantly on...
any chance of hooking one back up again?

i wouldnt know to be honest...

what do u mean by its always on though?

whilst its always on, it doesnt always kick in - is the green light always on or sumthing?

if its not, maybe u can just leave it and save urself the trouble from hooking on the switch - unless of course u wanna do some wheel spins

Sounds like you have to find yourself a switch (or something equivalent). Are you sure you have TCL - Have you got rubber pipes attached to the top of your throttle body????. I wouldnt have thought it would have worked without the switch.

yeah my switch was there but dissconnected when i got mine, the default position is on... and yes, i have a strut brace, no problems

ok i am not 100% sure i have it, but my wheels rarely spin.
i have never seen any green light on the dash.
and i havent looked at the throttle body

This one has traction control. Its the little gold thing with all the pipes coming out of it under the middle of the strut brace.

If you got no gold, you got no TCL
