Hi,
This snow is the first time I have had to test my Freelander TD4 Auto. We live on a hill so in about 6" of snow my son's VW had to be pushed up the hill & into the drive.
We had to go to Ledbury and back (70+) miles to collect grandchildren and had no problems at all. Just to play around I went up the hill in both reverse and forward. In reverse I did hear one of the rear wheels spin a bit but it soon stopped and the drive seemed to be taken up by the other wheels ok and I kept moving just fine.
I ask because I have been trying to get to Bell Eng to have it all checked but they have been busy and the weather has not helped.
I don't get any problems in forward or reverse in the dry (no noises) so ??? is it fairly safe to assume all is well in the VCU dept? (I know - tempting fate!)
I've done about 1200 miles in the last year and no scares so far.
Thanks
David
