Shovel the driveway, problem solved.

@MIspaceI3 where's the fun in that?

I don't know about you all. But listen to the engine, before he gets to the top of the hill, i think you will hear him cut back the throttle, thus loosing his forward momentum, thus creating his loss of traction. I'm pretty sure the engine didn't just bog down like that.

@eawm You're hearing the traction control reduce throttle to control wheel slip... if you listen that carefully you'll also certainly hear the tires spinning on the ice. And before you suggest it, I tried a couple times without traction control and it was even worse :)

Thanks for watching

How much farther are you trying to go....it looks like you made it right to the garage door. If you want to get in the garage you might want to open the door next time.

those blizaak lm's are so called "performance" winter tires which in the other words mean useless crap. they don't really perform on snow or dry so why bother?

[summicron90]

Buy a Jeep for days like that...........Use your Audi on the dry pavement....

problem solved

turn off TC. if its off turn it on. I went up a steep hill with stock tire with my a4 q. no problem.

saw a car slide down the same hill without quattro. I don't have a whole lot of issues in the snow.

love the winter since I got my audi.

[coppersv1000]

they are great tires....anyone that needs anymore is a dumbass and can't drive

[coppersv1000]

I think you just don't know how to drive because i have blizzaks on my front wheel drive 2006 passat and if i take the traction control off it'll go anywhere....oh yeah and i live in the woods in vermont...a lot deeper snow too.

"Why are u accelerating so hard? While your garage is still close."

"How much farther are you trying to go....it looks like you made it right to the garage door."

"What part of not getting up the drive didn't you do? The last foot? Open the garage before hand and just drive in. You went up it like 10mph then stopped."

The car stopped on the STEEPEST portion of the driveway. Look where the headlights point. Listen and you will hear the tires spinning.

Watch the video response.
