GTI / GTD - Things not yet discussed

[Sootchucker]

Couple of things from the little information we have on the VW price list (dated 1st April) that I wonder if anyone has any information on are:

2 Remote GTD / GTI Folding keys - wonder how these are different to the standard keys - maybe logo branding ?

Anti Tramp Function - I guess this is to stop wheel hop - would it just be revised mountings for the gearbox / engine ?

Also disappointed to discover that what I thought were going to be door lights (in the lower door edges) as described in the earlier MK7 brochures and price lists, have now been changed to just reflectors only. I have to say I did this mod to my current Scirocco (as the door modules fully supported door warning lights), but wonder if it's possible on the MK7 ? Such a shame this penny pinching, as I was also considering an Audi A3 sportback, and I have to say the red warning lights with the lower white puddle lights in the doors looks very classy, and in the case of my Rocco, certainly gives excellent visibility of an open door at night.

Yeah, sigh - first must do mk7 mod then.

Do they mean anti trap?

Recognises when the wheels may be about to lose traction with the road surface under acceleration and intervenes to stop this happening.

Overview
The anti-tramp function recognises when the wheels may be about to lose traction with the road and intervenes to stop this happening.

Under hard acceleration the wheels sometimes bounce up and down, temporarily losing grip with the road surface. This is called 'tramping' and it can lead to the ESP system cutting engine power and slowing the car down.

The anti-tramp function ensures full traction, so speed is maintained.

Is this new to the Mk 7 or have previous GTI/GTD's had it too?

I suffer quite badly with this on my Scirroco. Just can't quite get all the power down which is mega annoying especially when you're on a flyer at the lights

  Thanks.

I wonder if the 'anti tramp' is an electronic tweak of the traction control or whether it has a modified bush like the popular modification on mk4/5/6 Golfs.

Looking at the anti-tramp stuff in the VW blurb, it's electronic so will be tied in with the ESP etc. Probably just quickly apply a brake to a wheel that's struggling to put the torque down rather than cut engine power.
