The traction control system on modern cars limits tire spin by reducing power output to the wheels when tire spin is sensed. In certain situations such as driving in the rain this may be beneficial. However, in other situations such as driving in the snow or under hard acceleration, traction control can be detrimental.
On the 2015+ Golf MK7 models, Volkswagen does not give the driver the ability to turn traction control off. By not being able to turn off traction control it is nearly impossible to push the car to its potential in 1st and 2nd gears. Driving the car in a race environment is also not possible because the car’s computer system will drastically reduce power output once it senses the wheels spinning. Perhaps the biggest challenge comes in winter when snow begins to fall. Without having the ability to deactivate traction control and let the wheels spin, you may find yourself stuck on a snowy or icy road.
MK7 Golf owners, here is your change to take control of your traction. USP Motorsports has created an easy to install, plug and play kit to install a traction control switch on your MK7 Golf. The kit uses a factory Volkswagen traction control button and includes a complete plug and play wire harness that requires NO splicing, tapping, or soldering. Installation is straight forward and can be accomplished in approximately 30 minutes using the included installation instructions. Once installed you can easily turn traction control on or off with the push of a button. This kit is fully compatible on both 1.8T and TDI models.
