how to get factory 0-60
« on: 12 May 2015, 13:31 »
I have a 05 dsg gti. the 0-60 for this is 6.9 secs.

Main question is will I be able to achieve the 0-60 in automatic sport mode with TC off? As all I have been able to achieve is 7.35 secs as a best. Or do I need to do it with flappy paddles?

Why would you want to? If you really must, it tells you the launch control procedure in the handbook.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

Decent tyres with good tread set at the correct pressure
Ensure all suspension bushes / engine mounts are in good condition
Less than half a tank of fuel
Ditch weight like passengers and your spare wheel

Then point the car downhill with a following wind  :laugh: :laugh:
