    Traction Control

    We have 07 D3 TDV6 SE ...as some of you know we shipped it over to oz for the winter and which is where I first noticed a peculiarity of the TC..

    We were travelling over to the Atherton Tablelands inland from Cairns on a narrow and windy but sealed road.

    At times the slight bumps in the road would set off the TC and the car would lose power and judder, I guess from the TC system working.

    It is still doing the same thing over here, when we were coming back from trout fishing the other day...A narrow windy road where the speed was , I guess, 40 - 60 km p/h...but sealed.

    Does this happen on all of them?...it is almost as though the TC has too finer tolerance b4 kicking in.

    Cheers

    Are you sure it is TC and not the Stability Control as they use the same indicator??

    Have you been driving too fast for the conditions and hooning around ??

    Hi ya..

    We have 45K on the clock...We had a service at 40K at Cairns and there were no faults recorded.

    And no I wasn't hooning!! Ha

    I suppose it could have been the Stability control...didn't really take much notice...I guess I'll turn it off next time and see.

    I have never had traction or DSC activate on bitumen but heaps of times when off road - other than the shudder you will not really feel the TC in most circumstances but in my limited experience when DSC kicks in and you are doing any sort of speed you notice it straight away as the car will move strongly from one side or the other.

    Sure you were not hooning around??

    Nah I don't think it was excessive speed as from memory we were in a queue of cars at one stage going over the hills behind Cairns...If you know the road it's not really conducive to hooning.

    I never noticed it at any other time than on the seal..

    For all the other times , whether on bitumen or corrugated tracks or sand it performed faultlessly...it seems to be just when on windy roads.

    I can't remember if it has ever happening on flat windy roads...it may be related to also being on hills..

    In fact I have never noticed it when we have been doing 100 kph..

    Again it shows itself at slower speeds

    Most likely the DSC cutting in. Uneven tyre pressure or uneven loading can cause it to become more active. So too can wear in the ARB's, lower control arm bushes, steering out of calibration etc.

    Cheers,

    I would get it checked out.
    I drive those roads around the Tablelands often, with a trailer, with a roof pod & going as fast as I can get away with or a combination of all 3.
    Never had the DSC activate while doing so.
    Seems strange.
