Hi all,
I brought my scooby last october and i noticed that when i put the DCCD in lock and when stationary my car will bunny hop when trying to set off like its stuck. if its in auto or not in the lock option its fine, can anyone help?

 

Is it when setting off from junction with some steering?

 

yea that's right and it will bunny hop and will hardly move, if im moving and put it in lock it drives perfectly fine

 

Only put it in lock if going straight at low speeds as it tries to keep the wheels all at same time thus outer wheel same speed as inner

 

ok so is there a problem with the diff or is this normal?

 

Mines did it when i first started using it 3 years ago but i only lock if going straight from stationary as it improves traction, maybe someone else has similar issues

 

ok thanks for the help

the 'lock' setting is really only to be used for poor conditions like snow, mud, etc. and will pretty much always give the symptoms you describe as it like using 'diff lock' on a land rover, etc.

 

It's normal, and I believe the manual even states somewhere that you should expect the feelings you described plus some awful clunking.

 

I have been told its best to have the diff open or on the first orange, but I just leave mine in auto.

I only lock the diff when launching (on a private road).

 

do you have miss matched tyres on it ie different tread depths? they do get a bit clunky when in locked but more so if different tyre brands and ware differences between sides on the same axle.

 

Normal

 

All the tires are fine, that's alright then. I only put it in lock because I had a couple accidental drifts in it when the turbo kicked in but I read that in auto it's 65 percent power at the back and 35 at the front but when you enter a corner it goes 50/50 anyway
