Big 'D' Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Its defo real Its not actually pulling the lorry its just assisting with traction. Cheers Iain Link to comment
Jazmac Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 utter mince, lorry was pulling its self out in my opinion, i canny get my scooby up my drive over the last few days due to the snow. Link to comment
Big 'D' Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 utter mince, lorry was pulling its self out in my opinion, i canny get my scooby up my drive over the last few days due to the snow. Would that be beef or lamb mince Thats your opinion mate, but if the lorry had no traction to get moving from a standstill on that road under its own power even the slightest bit of traction from the scoob would have helped get it going, once moving there would be no need for the scoob anymore but it certainly helped it get going.

emne Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Iv been workin with these all week they wont move on ther own in the snow they just spin the wheels untill they get moveing lol the scoobs defo helping with traction lock the diffs and itll find the grip for you Link to comment
jcscoob Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 lock the diffs How do you do that ? Link to comment
RA Dunk Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 THink he means car's with DCCD Jon Link to comment
emne Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 yep dccd mate allways usefull in this wether Link to comment
Big 'D' Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 (edited) Are we saying here that DCCD is better than non DCCD in the slippy stuff? Cheers Iain Edited December 29, 2009 by Big 'D' Link to comment
bmwhere? Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Are we saying here that DCCD is better than non DCCD in the slippy stuff?Cheers Iain DCCD is definitely better in the snow and ice. If you have very little traction, then locking the centre diff really helps. Generally when there is low grip, being able to send more torque to the front makes a massive difference! Link to comment

Generally when there is low grip, being able to send more torque to the front makes a massive difference! I only asked as the non DCCD scoobs have the 50/50 torque split available too, plus the diff is able to shift the torque to where the grip is. Cheers Iain Link to comment
sti pretender Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 The Auto DCCD is ok in the snow but locking the diffs give far more grip I find. Also classics are better in the snow as the ABS isn't as sensitive. Let the debate begin. Link to comment
col666 Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 They are fine in the snow, unless you have 235 tyres and no ground clearance.......oh well! Link to comment
Robertio Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Fitting half decent winter tyres will make much more difference than any diff tweaking. A standard '98 turbo can go WOT through 2nd in 6" of snow on Nokians, my only concern in snow is lack of ground clearance Link to comment
euan_r Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 (edited) my 98 uk on 15" canadian snow tyres made of walnut shells is excellent, on par with leggacy which is fitted with 14s m+s all year round. i think ive broken the dccd on new car with the 18s which were truely awfull in the snow.

cullenmin Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 i think ive broken the dccd on new car with the 18s which were truely awfull in the snow. Didnt know you bought a new car euan, tell us more Link to comment
