Default DCCD HELP

Guys,

Can you help... I've looked at a scooby with DCCD. Can anyone tell me what all of the settings are for?

Which should be used for day to day driving around? Is is something that I'd really make use of, or is a just a toy?

cheers.

If the car is a classic then you will need to know that these wont have ABS fitted as the DCCD couldnt work with it then, if its a new age car then you should have ABS, and if it is an MY03 onwards it will have an auto setting.
John Felsteads right up is good though , the only word of warning is not to put it in lock (all the way forward) as it can make the car quite unstable.

So is it a gimick or is it worth paying a bit extra for a car with one?

if you're going to use it on track DCCD is very worthwhile.

I have never had one feel unstable when fully locked, to be honest theu tend to feel more planted imho. many people seem to lock them for high speed motorway running although this has a nasty habit of burning them out.

However, a fully locked diff will usually cause massive understeer, and it make loads of noise under heavy braking

I would have though oversteer would be a better handling trait on track mate!

PS. Do you want to buy an Octavia Simon?
