Title: pp e-diff
Post by: Tornado8 on 25 March 2018, 12:30

Have been watching this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xlZ6gghqGY (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xlZ6gghqGY). What is the difference between this, and using sports setting for the diff in the individual mode setting?

The drive profile setting is definitely not the same thing as the setting accessed from an OBD tool. While I don't know what differentiates the two technically, I believe the latter ramps up the entire effectiveness of the e-diff, regardless of what setting you choose via the drive profile screen. And I know setting the e-diff to "Increased Traction" via OBD has noticeably improved cornering under throttle. A well recommended change without any downsides.

I think it changes the diff to the same setting as the clubsport s

Has there been any "official" confirmation of this yet? I know people have assumed the CSS is set to "increased traction" as standard but I have asked a few CSS owners whether they could do a quick check and they haven't bothered replying so still waiting for a solid piece of info.
