Hi,

My VDC or gearbox is going into safe mode when my car slips aggresively. Normal driving without pushing traction control the car works perfect. in straight line acceleration on a smooth surface its also fine. But when I am at WOT and if excessive slip occurs my gearbox and VDC goes into safe mode.

Any ideas whats going on? I just bought it....

Hi folks,

Did some research and it seems that if you change the wheel and tire sizes this may happen. Can any of you conform this for me? I've only seen this mentioned in the US site.

If this is so. Would you guys think of a way for a work around? this may be a headache for me since I drive agressively but would still like to keep traction control running when i need it. TIA

Gee, this car is getting way too high tech, next thing you never know it may shut down from jealousy when you drool over a Ferrari at the traffic light... it's got its own positronic brain programmed for emotion.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.

      Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!

      Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
