Ok so got the engine sorted now a new fault has cropped up. The TC is'nt working :( I get the lights light up at startup and the Abs works!! Any idea's?
Thanks
 
So when yer drive forward on grass and brake hard, does yer feel the abs activate?

Abs works as it should. All the lights work for the bulb test then go out. The HDC works forwards and backwards. The only thing I notice is the TC light doesn't seem to flash when the wheels slip and I can't hear the TC working.
 
I think you need to get it on a code reader to find out, but not all readers can see the abs faults. I assume a TC fault would be in the ABS computer.

It could be me but i'm sure it's not working. I'll need to test it when the snow comes, if it comes?? If the TC is'nt working then I guess I'll have to visit the stealer?

A hawkeye or a good code reader will get the codes, if they're in the abs computer. If you pull away quick on wet grass then you should see the TC light up and feel the abs activate to control spinning wheels. Easy to do on the v6 ;)

I tried that yesterday and i didn't see the light :( although I could have spun all 4 wheels? Easy to do with the V6!! ;)
