S3ENVY Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Was giving it a little on the way home and on the power out of a roundabout the car neatly drifted through and out of the bend, caught me by surprise!!! Guess the roads are a bit more greasy than normal but really didn't feel like I was pushing it... Must have looked cool from behind though!!!

Mo-S3 Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Bet your glad that ESP wasnt switched off !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gren Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Had this happen to me once on slightly damp roundabout at fairly low speeds - 25ish. ESP didnt seem to do anything - guess all the sensors were confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Last week I parked my car up in the garage, went into the garage about an hour later and there was a strong oily smell. On close inspection of the car, I found that all four wheelarches were soaked inside with old engine oil. I must have driven through a small lake of the stuff! Have no recollection of driving through anything at all that day. I wonder how the ESP would have coped had it been on a roundabout?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 only with ESP off, on a diesel covered roundabout. going 3/4 the way around it sideways was an eye opener Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarMad Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Had this in my old 2.5TDI Quattro. It was only slow and I kept my foot in. The car started bleeping and it came up and said Brake on the DIS... nah whats the fun in that. It wasn't dangerous it was just a slow wide section of road with virtually no tarmac left to grip on.

S3ENVY Posted June 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 This was at about 45-ish on a 3-laned roundabout. Usually if I start provoking the car the ESP is right on it, this time it felt like it was off!!! It Didn't do a thing, was easily controllable though and felt really stable and nice, will be trying some more of that at some point in the not so distance future!!!

ChriS3 Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 The S3 is pretty difficult to get into a good drift. plenty of grip and a short wheelbase. Although... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
