Sport button as standard on GTD?

[Moskit]

I test drove a GTD today. Whilst I was driving the salesman pressed the sport button next to the gear stick and a few options came up on the display. I asked if this was the adaptive chassis option and he said the car doesn't have it.

So is this adaptive chassis? Confused!

Sport adjusts various things like steering weighting, Sound actuator response (on the GTD - does the GTI have an actuator?), throttle response, and if you have DSG it has the speediest recovery of speed to catch up with the car in front after slowdown when the ADC is set.

Both GTD and GTI have sound actuator behind dash as standard

Thanks for the reply. So does the sport mode come as standard on all GTD?

How would you know if the car had adaptive chassis control fitted?

I may be wrong (bloody hell I should know since I have ACC ) but the only real difference is that with ACC you get a choice of comfort mode which you don't without. All the cars come with variable setups including sport, Eco and normal. That's my understanding but I have been known to be wrong

DCC (Dynamic Chassis Control) options become available in the main menu.  Won't be there otherwise.

correct bill. only other thing is that with dcc you get continuously variable damper rates ie sport mode =sport dampers, comfort mode=comfort dampers. you don't get adjustable dampers with the normal driver profile.

So the button marked 'MODE' that is located to the front left of the gear stick is common to all GTD/GTI's irrespective of DCC being fitted or not?

[corgi]

Yes

Does anyone think the option of comfort would be able to be enabled via vcds? Surely the full suspension system won't be different on cads equipped with DCC?
