The low traction light will come on anytime the back tires spin. It will even come on if you go over a nice bump in the road. Here are a few reasons your car may not be able to burnout. 1. your brakes suck 2. your brakes are too good and the tires can't spin 3. your car is underpowered 4. your tires hook too hard 5. the pavement is too sticky 6. driver does not know what he is doing

Sounds like your asr is on. I have an A4 as well all I have to do is boot it. If I boot it to hard I go nowhere just spin.

Yeah me too. When i had the A4 all i need to do was brake and accelerate. See some vid in my site. www.shpracingteam.comBut mine didn't have Traction control. Maybe your traction control switch is damaged.

I can do a burnout finally, the problem was that, there was too much air in the tires. Weird

Too much air in the tires can keep you from doing a burnout? Uhh... first off, I would think any LT1 could do a burnout, regardless of how much air is in the tires. Second, I thought more air would give less traction when compared to a tire with less air that puts more tire to the
