Vectra C facelift, 19 CDTI 150 No traction control..?

[150_SRI]

Hi Guys, i have a facelift vectra SRI C 1.9CDTI 150. In the snow, i have not seen the traction control light or it cut in.

Does this car not have T/C?

[Derek Mc]

nope it was an option on them.

[neverlandandy]

Only standard on V6's, and on models with either the ESP or IDS options.

However some very early Vectra facelifts were fitted with TC on all engines except 1.8 petrol (same as pre-facelift). I believe up to around a build date of late September or October 2005.

My vectra sri cdti 150 dose have traction control.

First owner will have ticked the option box unless he simply fitted the switch, have you tried that it does actually function?

As John K says, Very early Facelifts will have TC but it was dropped shortly after.
My '55' CDTi 150 facelift had TC, whereas my '06' facelift didn't.

Thats rubbish for a car like this. My old car that i sold to buy this one had T/C, that was a 2.2 SRI 150 2001 Plate. Didnt have a switch but light on dashboard flashed when it was cutting in.

This car doesnt have a switch either and there were no lights coming on the dash went i was wheel spinning in the snow so thought it obviously doesnt have it. Im surprised that a newer vauxhall doesnt have all the same and more than my older one!

oh well thanks anyway everyone.

No switch I was going home from work in the lanes there was a bit of mud on the road and the front wheel started to spin on one wheel and notice a flashing light in the centre of the Speedo and rev counter (ESP) electronic stability program.
