2016 Clubsport
Stock apart from MX72 pads and PS cup2 tyres
XDS set to weak
VAQ set to increase traction
Outside temperature 31deg C (87.8F)
Oil temp hitting 125C (257F)
Yesterday was the first round for 2018. Ran the car over 7 rounds last year. Last 3 with modified XDS/Haldex settings.
Early in the day car felt fine. Put down a respectable time just 1sec off PB. Later in the day as it got hotter I really felt the VAQ struggle. Only way I can explain it is that it felt like it was repeatedly trying to lock, not at all smooth. Like a lurching or even bunny hopping. By the last session I was averaging +3 seconds where I usually get faster by the end of the day.
Was going to plug ODBELEVEN in to look for any fault codes but my android phone I use for that needs charging. Not sure what else could be the cause, temps were high but not filthy high. Would be interested to hear from anybody else who has experienced a similar feeling. (That is if I’ve managed to convey it successfully)
