Hi , It comes up in the DSG Computer (vag Codes)!! The dealers know what's been causing the clutch burnt out Useing LC!  This is what was said to me by Dovercourt. My Take on this issue is dont F---- about with it to much Or its going to cost you loads of dosh!! steve ED30

I was somewhat surprised to see a launch control option being mentioned. Is this option only available on the Mk5 ED30 or GTI's as well Regards Tony

  I would'nt push the throttle to the floor , you will blow the clutch out or end up in space Tony. Just take the rev's upto 2.5 to 3000 revs , foot off the breaks. Very very quick off mark. Its brilliant for person next to you, who think he beat you off the lights  Oh , then there's the smile when you look in your rear view mirror excellent. steve30

I can see this being quite addictive and might be a bit of a blessing in disguise that I have a manual lol


Im just watching TG on Dave and to quote Clarkson (in Ferrari 599) "Launch Controls is for fat useless drivers designed to impress their friends" Made me think of this thread.

Thats what Clarkson did, he went faster not using the TC which inspired that quote lol
