Nothing wrong with it if you have speced it, i just felt it was not for me.

Thanks Snoopy.
It is good you made me think about the complexity of the system. It is a very valid reason not to option ACC.
Great to have you as a member helping and informing us.

This technology has been around for years on cars lke the S_Class, the Golf is the first in class to have it. 
Although I accept there is more to go wrong with ACC, compared to without, cost and repair is a valid reason not to choose ACC, not realiability though. With the roads the way they are round my way at the moment ACC or no ACC I in for a bumpy ride.

If you're worried about high tech components on a car, you might as well not bother with a car and buy a pedal bike.

Got to put some trust into a manufacturer to do a decent level of testing.  But then again I only do about 6-7k miles pa, so a pretty light user.

You might want to have a look at the latest bikes mate, electronically controlled gear and suspension systems, single sided suspension forks and carbon fibre frames weighing less than a kilo....

As for the ACC, had it, don't have it now, don't miss it. Would I have it as a free option? Yes because I don't keep my cars for long.

You should go and say that to a Toyota owner...

Is ACC related to Audi's DRC?

Is ACC related to Audi's DRC?

No. Audi's Dynamic Ride Control uses some sort of pressurised hydraulic system to interlink the dampers. VW's Dynamic Chassis Control uses electro-mechanical valving controlled by an ECU. As mentioned earlier, it is not the same as the Audi Magnetic Ride either.

Test drove ACC/18" combination
Very noticeable
Prob less if 17" maybe
Cheap option really.

Snoopy:
Hi.
Spoke to the dealer.
Cannot change the specification.
Would have to start as a new order again.
Drove a friend's car with ACC today.
Thank goodness, it works!
Build week 9 confirmed - for now!
Will check with the dealer every Tuesday and Thursday.
I am such a trusting person!
