Peugeot Adv Grip Control

[agent_zed]

Recently bought a peugeot 3008 and got to wondering after all this snow malarky about the AGC (advanced grip control) system on some of them, which sadly mine doesn't have. Still think its a really nice car though

 

I did a quick google but didn't find many answers but does anyone know whether it is possible to retrofit it? Is it just an ecu controlled thing or are there actually mechanical differences?

 

 

Not sure how well my car would go with just all seasons but with the agc it seems to be pretty good at driving up a 1in3 ski slope

Looks impressive, but I'd want to know what tyres were fitted for the video before I was sold on it.

Just drive in your socks --

Just buy decent all season tyres, I've run my 307cc on them for years with good traction in all weathers. I have them on my xc90 now and in the recent snow it went up hill down dale where other cars were stuck without any wheel spin slips or drama

The peugeot in the video has Michelin Cross Climates. I do plan on putting a set of all seasons on when my current tyres run out. I ran a set on my bmw 316 but sadly they aren't the right size for the new car. I drove that to the alps a couple of times but somehow missed the snow. I did drive up a driveway that was steep and curved covered in ice with no problems even did a hill start. A fiat panda didn't make it.

 

I had maxxis which were 3 peak and M+S all season which still have ~5mm tread after 25k miles so pretty pleased with them, so would prob look to buy similar. They were also C rated for both wet braking and efficiency which is better than i've seen a fair few normal tyres.

 

It was more tinker-itis that got me wondering if it was an easy bit of tinkering to have AGC, but still unsure if it's just a plug and play module for my current ecu or some trick diff.

Cross climates are what I've run on 307cc not only are they good grip the mileage is good, over 20,k and still legal. Grips dropped off now thou
