fu94 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I bought my first audi recently and here in Ireland we have been hit by a snowbomb, has anyone any tips for driving in the snow? ive started using the comfort drive mode when driving in any snow. but that's the only thing I could think of in making it safer to drive in the snow. if anyone has any tips or tricks theyd be much appreciated, as I don't really want to damage my car in anyway.

Envy Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 1st tip would be to qualify every journey - do you really need to go out? If you do have to venture out then do you have a shovel, blanket, tow rope, flask etc. You may be able to drive in snow but many cannot resulting in roads getting blocked and drivers stranded. WRT the actual driving of the car - keep speed low, steering and braking smooth and remember 4x4 will get you going better than 2WD but we are all 4 wheel braking when the need arises. ABS is great but when there is minimal traction then you will end up with a buzzy glide into the hedgerow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fu94 Posted January 25, 2019 Author Share Posted January 25, 2019 the snow has gone now hopefully it wont return until next year but I doubt that. unfortunately my A6 doesn't have 4x4 it is front wheel drive however.i have created my own driving mode with everything in comfort mode except the suspension which I put in to dynamic this has helped me keep the power down when driving in icy parts or anywhere it has snowed really. thank you for your help.
