Hi guys,

Well...dammit anyway, but my car (996tt) was towed from a parking spot about two blocks. Unfortunately they left the front wheels on the ground. If it makes any difference the car was in gear.

Do any of you think that this will have ruined the viscous coupling in front?

The car feels like it drives the same...though this has just been slow driving in traffic.

Thanks,

John

 

That sux!!!
Not an expert butfrom what I understand towing in such a manner would cause SERIOUS damage!! how did they pull that one off anyway?? wouldnt the front be scraping all over the place??

 

I don't think two blocks is going to hurt it, but I agree with Mansour,
that you should carefully check your chin spoiler. This sounds
like an episode of "Repo Men: Stealing for a Living"

Mansour and Joe,

I did check the chin spoiler...fortunately I have the GT-2 front bumper and the chin spoiler is out of a flexible (and replaceable) nylon. So, no damage there. Just worried about the drivetrain.

Thanks,

 

Have your dealer look at it...it can drive fine even if the couling casing is cracked
Happened on my 99 C4!!

 

Also, you might wanna post on renntech.org or ask Loren or Tool Pants there...
