quentin_moss Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 Can someone explain to me what actually happens to your car when you adjust the DCCD as I tried mine for the first time the other day as the weather is changing and it made no difference to the car. Is mine Knackered?????
GTB Limited Posted December 15, 2004 Posted December 15, 2004 Q-dog, It adjusts the torque bias, front & rear. Starts at 50/50, then you can adjust the torque more towards the rear, i.e. 80/20. HTH Mark

Starts at 50/50, then you can adjust the torque more towards the rear, i.e. 80/20 Mark >> Almost! When the control is off and the centre diff is open you have a natural 66/33 R/F Bias. as you turn the control up you progress in Increments to a 50/50 split with the last click, being a 50/50 fully locked diff, like a landrover (Great for muddy Fields and snow, or Donuts at MacDonalds Cruises. ). What you should notice is a lot of clunking when turning at low speeds, this is the electric centre diff binding up against the LSD action. (Not the drug type!). Apparently you can lift the handbrake slightly (so the light comes on) and this cuts out the diff. I wind mine up to halfway in really bad rain and all the way in snow. At these settings ytou can feel more grip in the front. Next meet we are at Ill come out in the car with you and confirm yours works like mine (which definitely does work).
quentin_moss Posted December 16, 2004 Author Posted December 16, 2004 Cheers Andy Do you find yours a slippery sucker in the wet? Cos I seem to be all over the place when i put the power down, or could that be cruddy tyres?
HOL Posted December 17, 2004 Posted December 17, 2004 There will be more oversteer becuase of the bias, but I have found that the front always pulls round eventually. You just need to experiment. Having said that I have Toyo's and Leda's. So it could just be your car
