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.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
