Maybe they improved it on the later models, but mine is fine. I have had it flashing away at ~90mph at WOT throttle coming onto the main straight at Vmax and it has been very subtle

Can somebody please tell me what this means? I have seen it used a few times now and have no idea?

Wide Open Throttle.

So who is actually selling the car?

I think it was much improved on the DBW (Drive By Wire) cars and the software for DBW/TCS system was improved a few times over the years. It doesn't seem to be possible to update early DBW cars with the later, better software code though.

I can't say I've ever notice that I've triggered TCS on the public road but on circuit it works well on my car. For example accelerating hard in 3rd gear around Club Corner at Silverstone my car is nice and stable with the TCS light flashing away without seeming to hurt forward progress.

I can't remember if the guy switched the TCS off or not,but i remember the back end coming round quite happily on your car when i took it for a test drive years ago(i was in the passenger seat at the time)
We were on a roundabout and he gunned it,and the car did i nice little drift.

No doubt it can be done using a low gear and a tight turn but I've not experienced it on the public road yet myself. I'm constantly amazed at the traction the car finds, with the proviso that the tyres are warm.

At Bedford Autodrome the first corner is a sharp'ish left that opens out at it's exit, similar but a bit slower than Club corner at Silverstone, except that's a right hander. On cold tyres straight out of the pit exit I've had the whole car slithering Once the tyres are up to temperature the same turn has the TCS blinking away on the exit, using 2nd or 3rd gear depending on your mood, in a similar way.

Is the car still for sale, and is it from the original owner? If so, hasn't it been for sale for the best part of a year?

Cool, and a warm welcome to the lucky new owner.

Now get it down to TDI (no other dyno will do) and confirm or bust the engine power myth
