Subaru Outback - icy uphill try with VDC ON

Slide backwards in out of control car wasn't good experience. Last, succesful, attempt was with VDC OFF. Tyres Nokian WR-g2, 215/60 R16

Klouzat v neovladatelném autě pozadu ze stráně se rozhodně nezapsalo mezi moje oblíbené zážitky :-(
Poslední pokus je samozřejmě s VDC OFF.

uh, the first two attempts he stopped giving it gas.

The last time, he drove right through.

How does this mean VDC is bad?

[HondzikCZ]

@zzsql VDC wasn't suitable for that situation. It was so slippy and VDC torqued down engine much because all 4 wheels spin.

[HondzikCZ]

@zzsql He (me) did not stop giving it gas - VDC caused the gas cut offs. Last time was with VDC OFF. VDC is not good for that situation, that doesn't mean, that VDC is bad.

@HondzikCZ Fun fact: VDC is designed for much milder/on road conditions :3

[HondzikCZ]

@peepeevagi I agree that it's primarly for on road usage... But why not to try? :-)

For example electronic "difflocks" works really great in light offroad conditions as you can see in my other videos ;-)

That car is a beast...I have a dodge dakota 4x4 and I would think that it would have trouble with that hill.....

[HondzikCZ]

@MydogTobes It's possible, because weight... But you can do in heavy offroad... I can't :-)

Very good. I wish I were out there with you with my Liberty (just to screw around and have fun ) :). Thumbs up to you for taking a vehicle off road that was meant to go off road (and not "just" using it for street driving).

Imo Subaru makes the best civilian 4x4's ever. :D

@zzsql the question you need answered before you know if vdc is bad or good in this particular vid is how the differentials work when vdc is turned off, whether its open, locking, lsd, i dont really know enough about the outbacks or the vdc to say anything about it

[suprakilzz26]

@zzsql pretty much all stability/anti slip programs try and cut power and send the power to is't useful wheels. And in this case none are suitable because any wheel that gets power will slip. So then its start's to cut power until the system pretty much derp's itself and you go nowhere haha.. I actually drive with traction control off with my audi in the snow I get a better feel for awd and i can easily tell what the limit is...

Hell Ya.. My next ride.. 2.0i awd subaru wagon
