My thoughts exactly Booth (especially as it makes sense that green is for 'Go' or increase and red if for 'Stop' or decrease surely?) 

But that's exactly what they've done. 

Fortunately this slight foible aside, the new box is still superb.

Red is a harsh warning colour so it makes sense to me that it’s for the more sensitive settings.
Green is softer and makes sense for a softer setting.

How model specific are these pedal boxes? I.e. would a Mk7 GTi version be exactly the same as one for a Clubsport and other Mk7 golfs?

I’ve used mine on a GTI, R, GTD and ed40.
The settings are adjustable enough to find a sweet spot with each engine but the actual throttle pedal electronics seem to be the same in all the models and I haven’t even used a different setting between any of those.
I sincerely doubt the FL cars use a different throttle pedal.

I'm a bit late to the part I know but after picking up a pedal box from forum user JonLong on ebay I fitted it this afternoon.

Sport plus mode and then up a couple of notches spins the wheels in second gear with a stage 1 map. It's crazy!

City mode with a couple of notches is just fine  :cool:

Just curious and apologies if this has been answered before but why don't VW group fit the correct throttle response from the factory? It seems crazy that it needs a third party modification to make the car as it should have been designed and delivered originally.
Has it got to do with emissions restrictions?
If it has, the government are going to crack on to these at some point.
