Official "Videos of A4's playing in snow" thread.

[widgget]

Post your videos of you and your car playing out in the snow!
I will keep this top post updated with all the submissions so people won't have to go digging though the whole thread.


Some words of wisdom from our very own Old Guy!

Quattro warning
It's that time of year again. Fun in the snow with Quattro! Unfortunately, every winter along with all the fun comes a new crop of broken power steering pumps and crumbled fenders. So here are a few words of caution for all of you younger guys getting your first real taste of the magic of Quattro:

A clean parking lot covered with powder can be exquisitely fun. Just be careful that you don't get carried away doing donuts with your steering wheel at full lock in either direction. All it takes is a few seconds at full lock with your motor cranking hard to trash your power steering pump. A hour of fun can cost you mega $$.

Now on to crumpled fenders. I finally got my car dug out around noon today and headed out onto a back road where I live. The road was plowed but still covered with a few inches of packed snow. Even after 6 years and 120K miles I am still amazed at how stupid fast I can accelerate on packed snow or slush. The downside is your brakes and tires don't give a damn about Quattro when it comes time to stop. All season tires won't stop any better on an Audi than a Neon. It is very easy to overdrive your car when it seems to go so effortlessly. Find a nice stretch of snow covered road where you can pick up some speed and then test out your ability to slow down as quickly as possible. Keep that in mind when you are playing in the snow.

So be careful out there and have fun!

~ OLD GUY




I'll get it started.

[chadb2434]

I feel both of ya'lls pain!^^

[dextrek]

I just went out to the work parking lot during lunch to take some snow vids. Instead my car got stuck in 8" of snow. These summer tires are no good, even with the quattro

Luckly, Dave (draudi) showed up with his friend with a WRX and helped me get my car out.

Summer tires FTL

[vinny.dtw]

Fair warning, you might get stuck out there. And please be safe, and not wreckless. We do have quattro on our side to help us ACCELERATE, but quattro doesn't do jack to DECELERATE...which is obviously important. Have some fun out there!

haha ya, just another reason i try to not to go buck wild in the snow, i already have a leaky steering rack, im sure i would blow it if i started throwing nuts.

[Dolphin18T]

Nothing wrong with throwing the car around for a couple minutes as long as you don't turn the wheel to full-lock.

exactly what i was thinking.

or possibly the "why is there thudding from my tire when I drive on the highway after playing in snow" thread

[boostedAvant]

I agree with Ryan, as long as you don't hold it at full lock there really should be no problems if you're not being a total retard. Nice look on your face after the vid. too Ryan haha.

[boostedAvant]

Just walked outside and its snowing, I'll have contribute here in the next couple days if this keeps up.

[Dolphin18T]

Nice look on your face after the vid. too Ryan haha.
