Good day, I actually come from another segment and therefore drive Quattro. However, a friend bought a Forester as stated in the title and now that we have nice snow, we drove with both cars times into the snow. Now to the problem: We got stuck with the Forester on a road with both loose snow and really frozen. When we stood and tried it backwards, the engine turned up to about 2500 turns. We got off and around the wheels a little free, so there was no resistance around the wheels. Then the forester started to build up power again. After about a quarter of a wheel revolution there was full power again. However, the problem repeated itself every time we had to go back and forth. Each time I had to get out and make the snow piles before and behind the wheels away so that the forester “first S How could that be? It smelled like hot oil. There was absolutely no drift, despite 240 hp and four-wheel. It seemed as if the clutch would slip through, or not even plug in at all, since the electronics limited the speed at 2500… Can someone please explain this to me?
