    Did I kill my traction control when adding coilovers?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hey everyone. New forum member and car noob here. Ever since adding H&R coilovers to my 2019 RS3 8V, the traction control/button doesn't seem to work. Every time I press the button, the light doesn't turn on and I see the traction control "Off" icon displayed for a split second before it disappears. Pretty sure this is also what's keeping me from doing launch control. Never been able to do it since the suspension install. Is this just a consequence of adding coilovers? Any help is much appreciated!

    Did you also put on dcc delete units like the isweeps?

    I have H&R coilovers + isweep (mrc delete) and my traction control button works normally. Have a dealership check it out.

    If you do not have a cancelation module for the DCC (like the iSweep) it is very possible the car sees a suspension fault, which would prevent the vehicle from turning off traction control as a "safety" thing. Do you have a VAGCOM available to scan the car to see if there are any codes set? Typically they cause a light on the dash, but I guess you could see a soft code in some cases. If you don't have one send me a PM and we can get you setup!

    If you have a DCC cancellation module, my next question would be how much height did you shave off from stock height? 1/2", 1", more?

    Shed some light on the above and hopefully we can narrow in on what is giving the issue!

    A VCDS will answer a lot of questions... See if you can get a hold of one and scan the car.

    This is the first I'm hearing of a dcc delete module. Noob status confirmed.

    I'm guessing this is our guy? - https://www.ecstuning.com/b-isweep-p....dcc.s38v~isp/

    Thank you all for the quick replies!
