Wheel spin followed by a bang?

[roshea]

i didn't think it was available on DSG7?!?!
the RS has DSG6.

That would be why I don't have it then ...

HATE axle tramp!!!!!
Ruins my fun
What's anyones best / cheapest way to stop it??

in my experience:

- Volkswagen Golf VI 2.0T > Engine > Mount > ES#2193007 Dogbone Mount Insert Kit - Red - 10-ECS-018R (best and cheapest)
- sticky tyres
- wider wheels

Ooh... Fit the TDI?

Works well for me!!

I discovered it for the first time today...and feel like a teenage hoon now!

I've got some spare P-Plates in the boot, if you'd like... That being said, red ones would probably suit better.

wear my cap backwards too, while texting and reclining really far back in the seat too, with 'doof doof' music playing??

I have a similar dog bone insert to firm up the motor - keen to see what it does if it causes intrusive cabin noise
Don't have sticky tires
I'm running 8" wide (compared to 7.5" stock)

Not loosing traction via controlled use of the gas peddle is what I'm doing to avoid the problem

[zei20t]

whiteline have a similar void filler for the dogbone bush.

it works well, but at low rpm I can feel the motor more, and in reverse its worse.

that said, its manageable, and you just get used to it.

I dare you to bring a cap to Heathcote.
I'll provide the doof doof.

Yeah - given that I've just taken the car to Stage II
I doubt these [minor] negatives will be an issue in my case

These mounts are for the connection between the transmission and subframe so doubt they do much for axle tramp.
Sticky tyres may not solve the problem.

Higher spring rates is usually the solution. For FWD more caster/anti-lift helps too.

And turn the TC off and use your right foot.

Also the so called launch control only works in S and manual with the TC off, not D.

I now have the VWR springs and the supaloy control arms which have more caster
These seem to have eliminated the axle tramp (more aggressive testing pending)

[Martin]

I have now tried launch control and deliberately used too much throttle trying to promote axle tramp
With the supaloy control arms there is no axle tramp at all
The wheels just smoothly spin, traction control kicks in, grip re-established smoothly without any bang

I'm rather pleased with this outcome...

I've got the supaloys and when I rev over 2-2500 all it does is either false neutral or burn rubber


ps. Martin I'm uber keen to hear your APR exhaust ... does it gurgle??

[donweather]

So just for clarification, the supaloy control arms significantly reduce axle tramp and improve traction?

[Martin]

Interesting - I did get a false neutral once and was perplexed by it

On the outside it does have a faint burble
On the inside the idle is a little louder but nothing cool or interesting
The gas noises at wide open throttle are strange and add to the sensation of speed
It's only the downpipe from the turbo to middle of the car - from there backwards it's stock
(The down pipe does have a high flow catalyst)
