It doesn't seem to affect all cars. I don't see anything wrong with my throttle pedal but others do.

Mine is set to red +1 I think, could go to +3. The R really needs it. Due to the traction it’s very noticeable. Catapult standing starts :wink:

Our other car is a Mk7 GTI DSG 5dr Tungsten, Vienna, Rear View Cam, Park assist.

I leave mine on the green "city" setting for urban driving.  Have just returned from my 7.5 GTI's first major country trip and found the orange "sport" setting ideal for country roads, where the instant response could be enjoyed free of stop/start motoring.  I find the fine tuning + and - buttons have little effect on each major setting (green, orange, red).  I tend to shuffle between the major settings.  But IMO the pedal box completely transforms the car.  To the extent where I think I would be driving something else if it weren't for it.

Maybe worth popping over to DTUK at Tanfield and see Simon or Andrew they will more than likely have a car you could try to see if you like it or not.

I have mine permanently set to sport with one green light. Sport + was a bit too much and I can't see the point in dropping from sport. The point of it to me is to fix the dead initial travel and once on it is down to my foot to judge depending on driving conditions. Thing is you get used to it very quickly so that it seems normal until the dreaded day when you have to switch it off and you remember just how bad the standard response is...

Hi Geoff

Yeah I’ll call over at some point - I’m away with work just now.

I see him around locally a bit and was hoping to catch him for a chat but kept missing him before I came away.

I’ll have a dodge over to their unit when I’m home though

Another thing you may want to try to increase  throttle response, is to put a piece of tape on the throttle. Only put enough on ( I found a piece of gorilla tape sufficient) that, as you put your foot on the throttle, it picks up immediately. Put too much on and the revs" hunt", also the hold won't work. I found it works :nerd:

Sorry, but you've lost me  :grin:  Do you mean put some tape on the face of the throttle pedal to make it thicker and effectively closer to the driver?
