Launch control..

[plowy]

I've had the car a week so don't take the pi55, is there a launch control system on the DSG or not ?

oh yes, but if we had to tell you how you use, we'd have to come find you and give you some stick for not knowing lol

Handbook anyone?

[bobbarley]

If it has it, I imagine it's the same as in the Audi's?

Hmm, i have a question that is kind of related to this sort of thing...

Does DSG let you brake and accelerate at the same time, i.e. one may use this during trail braking...

Just asking because on the Audi S8 that I drove a few months back, everytime the brake was applied when still applying throttle, it would cut the throttle completely.

Cheers..

It is one or the other I'm afraid. They are electronically controlled and therefore linked to each other.

This is from the Edition 30 supplement, but yours should be the same

To the sub-heading 'The Launch Control Programme enables maximum acceleration', they should also add the line 'Frequent Use of this Feature will screw up your DSG box and possibly invalidate your warranty'

LOL

BUT, they didn't, so if your GTI is still standard, you can get away with it.  Once you've remapped/modified, then you are on dodgy ground

Good job mine is standard
