Hi All,
After having our first drop of snow in the Midlands I've learnt my lesson that its a total waste of time even trying in the Cupra.
The slightest gradient with a bit of snow on with the engine decreasing power with the slightest bit of wheel spin.
I was surprised with this expecting the car with high torque to just ride the clutch and let it go but when some village idiot is coming down the hill and doesn't give way and makes you stop half way up the hill forget it the engine just shuts down the power.
Is there a way of getting around this like switching the traction control off or is it all linked to the turbo switching off the fuel ?????
