Pre-facelift 2.0L TSI Buying Tips

Nice choice.
I'm not sure why you'd be having grip issues unless your tyres are rubbish or throttle control is poor. I have ~135kw / ~320Nm & don't have an issue with FWD wheel spin unless I want it.

Oh yeah, I don't mean I'm wheelspinning everywhere by any stretch of the imagination, but it is noticeable. Tyres still seem ok, about 3-4mm left of the original Continentals. Getting used to the power delivery too... so I suppose it's mainly the right foot's fault! haha. Bit doughy for the first ~1000rpm, then really picks up. Looking for excuses to go for a drive, but really should be working.

Sounds like tyres. 3mm & under will be pretty hopeless in the wet
