TCS i think is the tractional control. Not sure if its there on the rider version.

I think there is no TCS in the RS. Thats what the salesman told me,anyways.

TCS - Traction Control System

man i dont own a TDI but i know theres no way they are offering TCS in your TDI ... the vRS doesnt have TCS either .. so burn your tire as much as you want

hyundai tuscon has one. not sure of vRS. maybe the new vRS will have it.

and since we are talking about TCS, does FrontWD cars or just RearWD cars have those? or is it just for FOUR Wheel Drive vehicles?

@jk- any car can have a traction control system; no limitations with respect to the drivetrain layout.

There is no TCS on ANY Octavia model. So u shouldn't be havin too much of a problem burning ur tyres, unless u have an automatic

Automatic tyre burn is possible. Put in drive. Sqeeze the brake hard and floor the gas pedal. After that all you need to do is lift of the brake and watch your tyres smoke

Like a few have said, there is no Traction Control System (TCS) on the vRS... Hope you don't mean Cruise Control??

Another way some ppl suggest of gettin a wheelspin in an automatic car is to put it in neutral, rev hard and suddenly shift into D. But then this should be very hard on the gearbox.

Guys, its easier to get a burn-out done in an automatic car than in a manual rite??? Any info on that

And say goodbye to ur transmission ....

Now i present the simplest way to burn tyres...

Kerosene oil.. Rs. 20

Matchstick.. Rs. 2

Tyre Burn.. PRICELESS..

karthik247 · 12th November 2005, 23:26

Not tyre burn, wheelspin or a burn-out would be the right word..

nanu28 · 14th November 2005, 01:05

Where did I see the mTCS button...?

But i am 100% sure it was there the 3rd button on the center console...and mine is a TPI not TDI. and mine doesnt, where is turbo india, I am sure he knows...

Thanks guys though....
