Title: 130 mph Top Gear TCS Bugbear
Post by phuturephantasy on Dec 18^th, 2004, 8:01pm

I have noticed recently that my 24v has difficulty changing into top gear at Full Throttle - everytime I floor it the Traction Control kicks in as it changes up and it then changes down again and I am stuck in an up/down fight against the TCS. Turn TCS off and no problem.

The traction control in my new 97' 24v is kicking in too often for my liking and certainly far far more often than my older 95' 24v which has really cheapo rear tyres and I would reasonably expect to slip more if anything. Either my newer 24v is making a lot more power (doesn't feel like it) or the TCS is playing up slightly.

Any ideas?
