Wheel spin followed by a bang?

[Martin]

So, when it all goes wrong and you get some wheel spin,
it's often followed by a bang which I had assumed was wheel bounce
but I'm now concerned that it's the DSG clutch!
Do any of you experience this and what do you think it is?

[Tigger]

I get that too if ir loses traction then bites in...

I just thought it was the suspension bump stops etc... after if bounces a bit scrambling for traction?

[Tweeked]

Is your Traction control on or off..... I found in my previous Mk5 gti it did that with the t/c on.

Phew, glad we think it's axle tramp

It happens with traction control on, Not sure what i think about this traction control (other cars work better)

I'm digging up an old thread with this link, for for those who were wondering:

What is axle tramp ?

[Rubbadub]

First time I experienced it in this car was under (attempted) medium-hard acceleration from a stand-still on a recently drizzled-on road. I thought something had got caught up in the wheels and was being dragged around and around...

HATE axle tramp!!!!!
Ruins my fun
What's anyones best / cheapest way to stop it??

1) Pick your place better (road surface quality)
2) Semi slicks
3) Reduced throttle

(Geoff Brabham says there are two organs that men have little or no control over, one is the right foot...)
