Question Does my car have traction control??

I was told that because my SS(T56 trans.) doesn't have a TCS or ASR switch to turn the traction control on and off, it doesn't have traction controll at all. All it has is a torque management system. Is this true, or do I have traction control. I was looking into buying a TCS module from SLP, but it would be useless if I don't even have a TCS system. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Traction Control and Torque Management are two totally different systems. I there isn't a switch on your dash next to the driving light switch you do not have ASR (TCS). If you have an A4 you have Torque Management as part of you transmission computer program, basically it kills your torque during up-shifts.

Should be a switch labled ASR above your HVAC controls. Next to your dash plaque?
