hi guys.... am a newb here, and new to a quattro vehicle. i just own a 2015 S3 8v S-TRONIC for a couple of days, with 4000km on the clock. the car has CTS Intake, and Milltek turboback exhust.

my dumb question is, how do we know if the traction control is working? the reason am asking this is because, whenever i push the car hard especially in Dynamic (full throttle, with the accelerator fully press down) i have this sensation/feddback on the steering wheel or something beneath (but it is not a vibration and not violent, and even my passenger did not notice it). only happens under wide open throttle. if i have partial throttle open (gentle acceleration) i dont have this sensation/ feedback

does anyone else have this feedback/ sensation when the car pushed hard? especially in the s1,s2,s3 gear ?

thanks
Ted

sorry, what i mean by sensation/ feedback is like mild pulsating sensation i can feel on the steering .....

thanks, Tedd

I'd assume it's the haldex doing its thing...

You should see the dashboard light up with the relevant ESC / TCS light when traction control steps in (which I wouldn't expect too often with Quattro).

You could (carefully) see if you get the same behaviour with ECS turned off.

hi GK / Ryan, thanks for your feedback, after checking out, turns out to be the sound from the CTS INTAKE and the TURBOBACK non-resonated exhaust making such noise and sensation..... all is okay guys

thanks a lot, cheers
