So... I've had this for a while, but it just became very prevalent yesterday when I was trying to accelerate going up a hill. I had sport on, 3rd gear, pedal on the floor and around 3500rpm traction light would kick in and would let me accelerate very very slowly. And the back end was no where near breaking. I'd shift to 4th, it would accelerate to about 3300-3500rpm and then do the same thing. It would stay on for a good 5 seconds and just continue flashing until I let off the pedal.
On flat ground it would go fine (here is where it was intermittent), but going up the hill, multiple times I'd go back to 3rd and it would do it again, and again, and again, but as soon as the road was flat... no light would come on and the car would go as normal.
I'm in the process of trying to find a dealer to replace my Vanos O-rings, I'm hoping its just the engine realizing something is wrong under that much load.
Any ideas?
Thanks guys.
