Hello all! new member here with an 09 ralliart with the recaros and nav package. Love this car to bits, best car I have had ever. Has around 72000 KM's on it, oil changed last week, tranny, diff and all those fluids a couple weeks before.

I'm not hard on it, although I do put the turbo to good use the odd time
Now that you know my car, this is my problem.

I've noticed on the weekend that (only sometimes) when I stop and make a turn my car will chug lightly when i accelerate. Not a hard acceleration either.

I was bored today so I drove around town and re created the chug about 8 times and then it stopped. I doubt I cured it.

Only happens when I stop, turn and go ever so slowly.

If you guys have any information that would be great! Thanks for reading chaps!

 

I'd say it's more or less normal. The SST isn't the greatest at slower "parking lot" speeds :P

 

If you can re-create it, post a video.

 

This. The Worst! Feels like I can't get my automatic car into 2nd gear lol

 

I'll try and get a video, but the thing is it doesn't seem like a tranny slip. Seems like one of my tires is grabbing, slipping, grabbing slipping. Like understeer almost but very faint and little.

 

Are you in 'Tarmac' mode?

 

Does it shutter when chugging? if so it might be the Torque Damper, Jacks Transmission has some good info on there website. It is only a long shot guess but if there are not any other issues, it could just be another unique SST thingy.

 

It shakes, chugs ish, almost like the diff is locked. And yes I am in Tarmac mode
