Audi A6 2.8 Quattro fall to snow

[pawelpodkowka]

u need Allroad :)



[SiSterCzech]

ani quattro není všemocné pokud neudržíš otáčky no hold :)

even quattro isnt allmighty if you doesnt handle torque well

[tomasmalin]

Jo, ani Quattro není všemocné. :-)

[racer0897]

your not suposed to drive offroad with it ya dumbass

[mbtech2003]

should of bought a subaru

[TraustiGeir]

@mbtech2003 Would've ended the same way. Neither one is a 4x4 SUV, which is what was needed in this case.

[Polofreak6N]

If the underbody is seated, the performance and the tires do not care! ;-)

[areld]

turn your wheel a little, press the clutch down all the way, give the car max rpm take your foot fast off your clutch and you will get out of it. i tried it with my audi a4 1.8T it works :)

[SuperThefleet]

You can't use spare tires for snow.

[tipsss85]

u need winter tires... summer tires dont work on snow.

Not enough clearance and it's not 4wd. It's all wheel drive. Huge difference.

[flyflyaway75flyfly]

@granolanutpunch actually depending on the awd system, it can be better off road or in deep crap like this. Obviously, a traditional 4wd with 3 locking differentials would give you the most traction, however many 4wd drives do not come standard as such. This A6 I believe, is equipped with quattro gen 4, which auto locks the center diff. Audi's quattro is a good awd system and should not be confused with "faux-wheel-drive". Faux-w-d likes to sip tea willing trying to move some torque around.

[granolanutpunch]

@flyflyaway75flyfly It is a great system but to be honest Audi's are scary in snow and ice. I think it's because they're light, have wide tires and are AWD... It's a twitchy combination that can really work against you if you're not RIGHT on top of it. Most people instinctively drop the gas when they start to slide and in 4WD or AWD that's the worst thing you can do.

My favorite snowy/icy road set up is a chevy suburban with auto 4WD. It's heavy enough and well balanced.

[ringlol]

@granolanutpunch Audis are light??? And if wide tires is the problem, buy narrower? Personally I would never buy wide snow tires, for any car. But you are right about not dropping the gas while sliding, worst thing you can do. You will just slide into the nearest ditch. 4WD/AWD + skid = press the gas and steer where you want to go.

[granolanutpunch]

@ringlol They're way light compared to an SUV and still lighter than most full size sedans... one of the reasons they're so much fun on dry pavement.

I personally love AWD and 4WD in the snow because I get bored easily and like sliding around. It just scares me how many people who've never gotten sideways think they're in a great snow car just because it's AWD.

Better acceleration and breaking? By far.

Better cornering? For most drivers, way worse! For good divers, way better!

2.5 TDI

[ktosi11]

[StovicekMichal]

@ktosi11 Vim co máme za auto ne? :D A 2.5 TDI to fakt není.. Zvuk je uplně jiný a jestli to nepoznáš, tak se jdi zahrabat.

[ktosi11]

@StovicekMichal hej a ja viem na akom aute som spravil 100 000km v priebehu roka a pol (a6 2.5 tdi 180hp) ;) a tiez viem v akom aute (kamosovom) sa vozime posledny mesiac (a6 2.8i) ;) prve 3 - 4 sekundy toci motor cca tak do 4 tis. otacok a potom pocut od 3 po 5 sek klasicky zvuk turba na a6kach.... tak ako to moze byt 2.8 ? ak najdem video zo stareho mobilu kde vytacam motor na a6 2.5tdi tak ho uploadnem a uvidis tu zhodu

[StovicekMichal]

@ktosi11 Hele dneska budu mít snad čas, tak ti natočim video, abys viděl a uvěřil :)

[djgiani]

Not quattro not 4matic and not 4motion ;) But classic 4WD or 4x4 ;) only

[boostGTRdu67]

@djgiani yeah, a lock mode would be good ! (I thanks to my Mitsubishi Outlander)

[bigdi77]

let me tell you my a8 never get stuck the car just makes ground clearence all by it self and with that 4.2 I never get stuck even with all that snow we got this year

[hazemvirus]

@bigdi77 i know i got S4 and didnt get stuck this year or even the year before idk what this guy did that he got stuck like that

[bigdi77]

@hazemvirus it goes to show you you can have a great car but if you a shit driver you will get stuck smh

[hazemvirus]

@bigdi77 exactly, its the driver who has to be good, the car only helps

[lotsblocks]

thats simply too much snow for many vehicles

[snowboarderr1234]

its all about ground clearence...of course a jeep would drive through it with ease...but 4MATIC vs quattro...haha yea right dont compare that.

[waldemar31293]

quattro only good for the track. 4MATIC is better in snow and all.

[jbm4551]

my jeep can drive through that haha

[shawnheather323i]

@jbm4551 Keep in mind your Jeep is not a car

[DjJBMIII]

@shawnheather323i haha i know im just messin around

[CocoandVelvet]

what year?

[faiqmasimov]

People think that if you have an Audi, you can even drive it with no tires )))))

[zexsmex]

It's not about power just use better snow tires like WINTERA they are best for snow u can climb on hill with them i'm using them on my Yugo Koral 45, 33PS, 900cc. And i'm driving and climbing even on Ice with no problem. I'm not joking, trust me.

[MrMyButterscotch]

взял и уебал бы

[tandaman538]

Hey, nice car i have an a4 quattro and i am just wondering where did you get those steel rims from? and what size are they? cause my rims are the 17" rims and im pretty sure they are the 17x7.5 but i have asked tire guys everywhere and they say you can only get thinner and smaller rims or ones that are the right size but wont work on the audi. i would buy smaller or whatever just for the winter but problem is i already have blizzak winter tires, that are for my rims 235/45R17

[speeder1674]

my audi has an adjustable suspension that can be heightened with a push of a button it might have helped in this situation

[pycckuuLV]

ooh ma men, you need some brains

[AddictedToStangs]

u need the 4.2 :)

[StovShark]

more power would't help into this problem

[rajdowiectom]

@AddictedToStangs  2.8 quattro

[quattrorocks]

quattro is good until you bottom it out which you did, if you want to go threw something like tht you need more ground clearence

[Flipster1325]

ur winter tires are probly already worn out u shud buy a new set every 2 or 3 years =p

[speckfire01]

Snow tires ..ever heard of them ?? Use them !!!

[Prankcafe]

it does have winter tires on that's why the car's on steelies

[StovShark]

We have snow tires ;)

[znoop72]

@StovShark What kind of snow tires?

[znoop72]

@StovShark What kind?

[znoop72]

@StovShark What kind of snow tires?

[znoop72]

@StovShark 

[Renpolo]

@StovShark Wider rims + wider snow tires, go go go!

[Javapa]

@StovShark

Ye, but what kind of? Cheap chinese or real winter tyres like Nokian?

[sliksQQ]

@StovShark buy a tuareg. kidding. nice car ;)

[znoop72]

@speckfire01

Right on the nail! Tires!

[MGazT]

@speckfire01 i think ground clearance is the issue here. :)

[wlandaverde83]

problem is its not a 4x4...look too much snow u need a car with higer ground clearance..but quattro is fucking GREAT..i have a4 quattro.

[F22USAFpilot]

The problem is you let it bottom out.
