Traction Control

[kingking]

My car is R-reg 2.8 Quottro
Does anyone know whether it have traction control or not?
I have lost control for several times these days, but I cannot the traction light on the dashboard.
How can I check whether it has or not?
Thanks

At the top of the centre console, is there an ESP switch?

i can't see it, but it is so strange that C5 Quattro doesn't have traction control

Your car does not have traction control. The 2wd versions do but the Quattro doesn't. The Quattro system is your 'traction control' system, so to speak.

So all Quattro cannot turn the traction control off?

no the 2wd traction control system basically cuts power when a wheel spins, so you can get going. It is more of an anti-wheel spin than traction control in the true sense.

The Quatrro's have so much more grip they don't need it. Unless you are on ice they are pretty difficult to wheel spin.
