As above, it won't touch your warranty.  I'm sure it tells you in the manual how to undertake the 'acceleration procedure' as they put it.. :smiley:

Agreed. :smiley:

It even tells you how to carry out launch control in the handbook, so there is no way they can void warranty. :cool:

Its a feature of the car/DSG, so they cant void your warranty for using a feature of the car!

Saying that, Ive never tried launch control in my car yet......never needed to TBH!

Hi , I was told by dovercourt in Battersea London, useing this function can damage the clutch in DSG box therefor  making waranty invalid? This is my 4th Mk5 GTI, but on my current Edition30 I have not used this function> Dont to want to mess with my waranty? steve30

If you bought some plates and they were microwave proof, but the salesperson said don't use them in a microwave, would you avoid putting them in a microwave?

If you got on a bus that you knew the number was right and was going where it said it was going, would you get off if the person you sat next to said it wasn't going that way?

Do you avoid cracks in the pavement because they could be "unlucky"?

If your answer is yes to all the above, then don't use the launch control!!!
