Sorry for spamming the forum with questions but yeah, can't do anything else while waiting
I'm wondering how exactly 4Drive works and its dependency on the selected mode. Here some random questions:
- Suppose I am in standard drive or sport mode. If I take off with a lot of throttle, say after a traffic light, will it help in acceleration preventing front wheels slip by transferring torque to the rear wheels at instant? On my Leon it seems 180HP is a bit too much for a front-wheel drive and it's very rare that I can use the full power for acceleration and that kind of beats its purpose...
- How about if the road is wet?
- Do I have to be in offroad then?
- What's the difference between offroad and snow?
- Is the middle diff locked when in offroad/snow?
- Is the distribution between front axle and rear axle dependent on the mode?
- Is the detection reaction for transferring to the rear axle or another wheel dependent on the mode?
- I have a steep twisted and dusty gradient when exiting my underground parking spot and with the manual, FWD and powerful Leon it's a real pain in the ass, needs very precise throttle and clutch touch. I hope situations like this can be solved by the 4Drive system but wondering if this is really true? If it is very slow to switch to the rear axle and will wait for a lot of slippage to happen in the front, then it won't be of any real use. Or maybe I should be in offroad when exiting my parking?
