Greetings all,
I'm on my 3rd GTI and looking to buy a Mk6 R.
My question/ concern is from my test drive of a Mk6 R in the rain today. When I would get heavy on the throttle and in higher RPM's I would hear what sounded like wheel spin.
The traction light never flashed. I didn't try it from a stop but reproduced the tire noise in 2,3 & 4th. I would let off the gas so I'm not sure if I could have induced over rev which would indicate tire spin to me. Is this sound normal and everything was working as it should?
The car was side swiped on the driver side. My fear is that something didn't get put back together right affecting the haldex from operating properly. The front wheel did not survive the accident. Not sure the true extent of the damage. I do not know what sensors the haldex uses i.e. abs or what not.
Thank you all in advance for any thoughts and opinions.
