The only traction control I have on my mk5 is putting at least half a ton over the back axle to aid grip.

Yes, traction control was fitted to some late smileys.
If you have ABS already you might just need to fit the switch! If not you need to swap the ABS module and add the switch.

Adding another quarter of a ton usually works in such situations thoughsportscott wrote:gotgcoalman wrote:The only traction control I have on my mk5 is putting at least half a ton over the back axle to aid grip.
