Missing traction control?

[BigRonnie]

Hi eveyone!

I'm interested in buying Clio Sport and have found one in my local area.
As I was looking through the pics on the advert I noticed it hadn't got the traction control switch!?

The car advert is here...

Its the Monaco Bue one, three pages in.

Could anyone clear this up?

Thanks

only the really late 172's came with traction control. 03 plates IIRC

 

[Beef-Mc]

As above really.

nowt to worry about, i turn mine of every day and have to deal with a shitty orange light blinding me :<

Cheers fellas :approve:

I dont really think they need it glad the PH1 doesn't have it!!

My 2002 '02' plate had it.

i'm not sure but can't you just add it coz if you look behind the cover where t/c should be there are spare plugs

I used to love switching it off in my 182.Cant remember the 172 if it had it or not...

Traction controls for quitters.

Lol at the traction control haters!

99% of drivers wouldn't know if their traction control was working or not!

I'm not a hater I think its essential on higher powered cars but its so easy not to wheelspin in a cliosport I just dont see why they need it.

Never needed it in my 172, comes on quite often in the 182 though

It's not just traction control - it's ESP. If you ever get into difficulty in adverse conditions, or for example, have to swerve out the way of something whilst braking, it's a lifesaver.

Traction control and ESP ftw.

Make sure you buy one with cruise control as well. None of this poverty business!

That one is a 2002, ESP and traction was not added until July 2002, cruise control was added in 2004.

But here is how I found out:

Buy a cup and do away with the ESP and TC:evil:

Completely unnecessary on the 1*2's.

Agreed . All this waffle about being for losers and not needing it . I never had it on my 172 , have it on my 182 and it makes sod all difference to my driving experience .

I'm sure some people on here haven't got a clue what they're on about sometimes :quiet:

Further to my comment, it was sarcasm with a hint of humor

I think they all had TC, it was only in 2002 or 2004 I think that ESP became standard.

Pretty sure I test drove a 51 or 02 and felt like it had TC kicking in cos of crap worn tyres.

That's a really good looking example from the photos, fair price too. I may be wrong but the steering wheel isn't melted so it's already got plus points! Word of warning though, check if the cambelts been done, I can't remember what mileage it should be done but it should've been done last year due to age at least and it's a very expensive job.

Also, the standard wheels are 16", not 17" as the advert says.

Mines a 2002 51 plate and doesn't have traction control
