The traction control light has started coming on on my Octavia.
I comes on after a few miles of driving but for no apparent reason and resets once the engine is turned off.
Two front abs sensors have been cleaned and seem okay.
Probably a coincidence but the clutch has just been replaced.
Any advice would be appreciated.

I had that problem on a new Octy some time ago.

It was an ABS sensor with an intermittant fault.

Two front abs sensors have been replaced and the fault is still there.
The light seems to come on after 3 miles every time for no apparent reason.

I owned a vrs with the exact same issue which turned out to be the MAF sensor. I know it seems odd but the traction control system uses data from the maf as well as the abs sensors, replaced my MAF and the problem dissapeared. Just a note though, only buy genuine bosch Mafs, 3rd parties are rubbish.
