Newbi here - flame suit on

[HackTC]

Hello All,

I convinced my partner to by the 05 TC. I thought the ride was great and had major bang for buck.

Drove the TC yesterday. It has 11,000 miles on it. Its got two nasty issues and my partner wants to kill me for the push to buy it. I drive an 07 GTI, but still like the TC for the price. Please help.

1) TC gets pulled from side to side over any road imperfection at low speeds, real tugging from side to side over rounded dips and bumps. At 80 on the highway its stable and smooth - any thoughts.

2) Feathering the pedal north of 1500 on the tach and less than 3000 brings on major hessitation feel. "drivetrain lag? .

Please help so I stay the consumate Ride purchase advisor !!!

1). What wheels/tires are on the tC? A larger tire (17"+) with a low profile and wide contact patch will cause a car to pull and twist over uneven road surfaces. Road contouring is a definite problem for the big wheel crowd.

2) The bucking/hesitation is a product of the drive-by-wire (DBW) system and is very annoying. There is really nothing you can do about that.
