Hiya, I've been pondering if it's possible to physically check if a Golf has ACC fitted? Maybe some form of connector or wires from the suspension?
Thanks.

Radar sensor on the front is an obvious one:

If you go to the driver profile menu (button next to gearstick), select individual and settings, you'll have suspension settings under there I think).
Not 100% I'm right as to the submenu, but it's deffo in there somewhere.

Sorry for the confusion as I made that sound like the adaptive cruise control, I was meaning the chassis control. Thanks anyway.

So if you have the option for suspension settings in there then it means that you have the fancy suspension? I've seen that and wondered if it was just a global option and just ignored if you didn't have the bits so to speak.

Just googled it.
If you get the option of "comfort" as one of the driving modes, you've got DCC.
Simples lol!
-
I think you can have driving profile selection even without DCC - but with you should have an option for the suspension when you go into custom setup.
-
EVO magazine found out that one of their longterm test cars had DCC when they found the options in the menu! :rolleyes:
-
Easy one to tell is it's a lot harder in sport than comfort.
Great thing to have in my opinion.
-
There is a cable plugged into the damper.

But if you don't have DCC you don't get the 'comfort' setting under the driver profiles.
-
Hmm I did notice it was set to Eco under the Eco profile so I guess because it didn't say comfort then it might not be fitted. Is the cable from the shock easy to spot?

Yes, you do. They all have the same driving modes (comfort, normal, sport, individual) regardless of whether you have DCC or not.

Mine doesn't. It has Normal, Eco, Sport, Individual and I don't have DCC
-
Apologies - my mistake! I'm getting confused between Eco and Comfort. Just had to go out and check! So do DCC equipped cars have Eco as well? So they have 5 modes in total?
-
I think they all have eco as this is related to so many aspects on the car.
The ACC accelerating slowly, the adaptive lights not working, cornering lights not working to name but a few. All designed to help with the economy.
I would imagine comfort by its very name is purely for the DCC.
-
Yep you get 5 modes: normal, sport, comfort, eco and custom

This. Even the manual has wording to that effect iirc.
