anybody had any probs with there v6's in the snow

ok guys as the topic of traction control has been resolved ,so this time i will turn traction control off and then see how it feels then but bare in mind this morning on the b road was it wasnt gritted nor snowploughed and the tc was left on.

as for the hill that takes me up to our home i had the gear in 2nd and got up there and tried to be too heavy footed

and maybe it could be the linglongs not gripping enough

yeah yu guys were right t/c is so much better turned off but i still reckon the 16v was a boat in the snow as it was a great car and just felt better than the v6.

Sorry Baz but that's rubbish, nice heavy V6 engine over the front wheels and the 16v was better

I know what i would rather drive

Mines fine in the snow............................................It's not moved in 6 weeks

yeah i know rob but thats how it was , the 16v steamed through the snow, but the v6 is ok without t/c now , really i was saying it didnt feel as good with tc light on.

Baz if the T/C light is on that means your t/c is turned off

[BazV6er]

yh sorry steve i meant the v6 wasnt good in snow with tc on lol

Would be a lot better with decent tyres.

yeah guys i think theres some truth in that , probably grip in budget tyres do suffer and therefore could be the problem although now i drive without tc on it does feel lot better.
