I brought my car in today to get it dynoed, just to see what I was working with, and out of curiosity. They got it ratchet strapped up and then when he was about to do the first pull the TCS and ABS lights come on and the car wont go over 10 mph.... He told me there was no way to dyno the car without disabling traction control, and since I have no way of doing that, the car can't be dynoed
:confused:

I've seen dyno results from mk6 tdi's before on here.... :confused::confused:

Maybe disconnect the abs module? That would cut them out and the code could be cleared later.

Electronic box B low-type #4, 25
inside fuse panel C #2.
C2 is probably the supply for the logic. 25 Looks like return flow, and B4 looks like the solenoid power supply. You can also just pull the wire connector off the ABS module. Codes will have to be cleared regardless due to the loss of communication with the module during your test.

Savage, do you have a link to a thread or instructions for the TCS disable? Thanks!

I just know that with the likes of fairly modern audi 4x4's you can disconnect the plug for the haldex system to dyno them on a 2 wheel dyno. I'd imagine just pulling the abs plug would be just as easy and the traction control etc is usually part of the abs module.

This mod is actually wayyyyyyy easier than I thought. Maybe 20 minutes tops with a kit, and only slightly longer buying all the wiring and fuses individually.
