View Full Version : Traction control and left foot braking

Hi all,
I was fitting my compressor guard, transmission guard and front bashplate yesterday and decided to use my car ramps on alternate sides of the car to get it up high.
My D4 has no ediff.
I was in rock crawl mode and found driving it up that if I used left foot braking as well the TC seemed to work much better when 1 front wheel left the ground and the opposing rear was struggling for traction.
Have others found this to be the case out in the wild?
(Btw my D3 had an ediff)
Cheers Rich.

In the wild, beyond a tiny little bit of roll like you did - the vehicle will say "No"

The vehicle doesnt expect both inputs and will misbehave!

To crawl up your ramp simply putting it in Low 1st would have done the trick

Dont try LFB in real world - it will send end up cutting your progress

I meant only light pressure on the brake pedal and it really made a difference.
