Surely a tiny bit of wheelspin is no bad thing. There are 3 possible causes, crap tyres, bad driving, or the motor has been swapped for a Veyron lump.

Read up about 'jerk', particularly applicable with turbo diesels.

It's a joke thread, isn't it?

an 07 leon fr tdi with 170bhp, i noticed on the test drive when i put my foot down in 2nd there wAs obvious wheelspin as the turbo kicked in, 3rd gear was fine the roads seemed dry?

have they sorted a good remap for this car yet? they were setting fire to the dpf initially lol

what do you guys think of the power of it? im going from a 100bhp focus 1.8tdci with 75k on the clock, this hAs 30,000 on the clock

Why do you care what people here think about it? As long as you like it that's all that matters.

You say you've purchased it so a bit late if you don't like it lol.

Oh and little tip if you remap it try and not just randomly put your foot down or do drag starts at the lights against chavs in their corsas unless you want to buy a new clutch

It'll need a new clutch eventually, may as well put a sprung paddle one in there hehe

So much quicker through the gears, just a bit juddery when you set off
