Hi guys, I have a 98 V70R that I love very much but I have a huge problem with standing start traction in the wet.
In the dry it's fine, it chirps a little when being very stupid but nothing to concern me. In the wet however sometimes moving forwards in third is hard if I don't use the throttle gently.
So it prompts me to ask a few questions.
- My car should have an LSD as far as I'm aware? Could the box have been swapped for a non LSD one? How can I check it?
- Is TRACS working? What should happen if it is? I've never seen any lights coming on when driving. However about 4 times in the last year when I've started the car the light for it being off has come on.
- The car has a Rica chip fitted, I've read about a few different maps/chips. Mainly the nature in which the power/torque is setup. Could this be my problem?
- I'm using what I consider to be good tyres. Toyo Proxes T1-R's. Should I be looking at something dearer?
- Or is just that it's a powerful FWD and I have to live with it?
Is there anything else I'm over looking? Any input would be greatly received.
Thanks Chris
