did mine last week. i had a thread about it on here somewhere
it makes its turn a lot shaper and hold a tighter line in the gas but if its slippery you do get a bit more wheel hop/axle tramp whatever you want to call it
i would say in the dry or wet its much better but when its cold and slippery its better on 0.
-
So you just changed your XDS to 2 and nothing else? Gonna give it a try and see if I notice a difference. :nerd:

What about 1, might be a good all round compromise?
-
no 1 is weak, 0 is normal and 2 is strong
its stupid the way they have it set out but 1 is actually weaker than 0 strangely
i have mine set to 2 and its very good. it makes the car a lot more responsive and better in and out of tight corners. ilk i said though if its very slippery i preferred 0 setting as it broke away/ASR came in more progressively
i didn't alter the brake assist. i find when your pushing on and the brakes are warm they're fine on factory setting but agree around the doors, under slow driving the pedal does have a bit of travel but i suppose it depends on how you use the car. for me the brakes in standard assist setting are good.

Changed mine too......works on the Polo GTI too. :cool:
-
I want to try setting 2 on the brake assist as I'm not impressed at all with pedal feel. Don't know if it would be over sensitive but I find the pedal has too much travel
-
Vagcom setting? Will it work on the R? And do you want to change mine hurdy :) :drool:
-
don't think the golf R has got the XDS but the scirocco R has, which is already in setting 2
you can change the brake assist though i would have thought
-
You can definitley notice the difference! Am delighted with the vagcom tweak :-)
-
yep it is good compared to standard setting.
I'm used to it now though and feeling understeer again :angry:
bistein B12/eibach sportline kit en route! :laugh:
-
I changed mine and then took the car out and thought it was tucking in better on tight bends.
Then I got home and went to put it back to standard and then realised I had forgot to save the setting so it was still at standard.. :laugh:

Not sure if the Golf R has it or needs it :cool:
Could check if you wanted me to though :smiley:
