Traction control

[v8jas]

hi guys

I've had my car for a week now , so far I've fitted redstuff pads and scorpion secondary de cat pipes.

I've also fitted new p zeros 235 35 19 on the front as it had (255) when I bought it (8" rim).

I'm having issues when I pull away hard , the traction lights flash and the car farts a few times then seems to pick up.

Also seems to wander under hard acceleration, I've checked the balancing and allingnment.

Any ideas?

Thanks guys

Haldex pump or could just be your tyres are not at optimum / have scrubbed their release agent out of them.

I'll try to scan the car later, will half ex pump show up on scan?

Haldex pump

+1 for pump. Whenever I scanned my car on VCDS sometimes I had the fault but when Audi scanned it didn't show. I suspect mine didn't completely go was more intermittent but if your getting flashing traction sounds very likely.

Good call chaps

Haldex pump failure , just scanned the car.

Going to get it booked in, is it a big job?

Not really, about £250 to replace. The Haldex is meant to be a serviceable part as it has a filter inside however this gets overlooked by dealers and prefer to leave it until it fails.

Hopefully will be covered under warranty
