Adaptive chassis control thingy

[Bill_the_Bear]

Also the system on the MK7 Golf is he newer mk2 version of ACC and is supposed to be much improved over the mk1 system installed in the Scirocco and MK6 Golf platforms ?

I did not know this.  What they change?

On second thoughts its probably more of an 'evolution' than a change I guess.

I'm going for a test drive in a mk 7 with acc tomorrow with the intention of adding it to my order. Will it increase the wait seeing as though I don't have a confirmed build date yet?

Cool, keep an open mind as the car you drive will have have softer springs than the GTI/GTD.

I'd check with the dealer, but as I understand it you can make changes up until confirmed build week.  So I think you're good to go at least until week 22.

Bill, I've got some information on it at work in one of the self study manuals I downloaded. I'll pop some details up tomorrow for you.

Awesome, cheers!

I already posted that it's 2nd gen. Here you go bear...

A second generation DCC dynamic chassis control system is at work in the Golf GTI. DCC offers the three driving modes “Comfort”, “Normal” and “Sport”, which are now selected and displayed under “Driving profile selector” on the touchscreen of the centre console. Besides offering a “Normal” mode, the DCC system, which was specially tuned for the GTI, now offers the “Comfort” mode, which is indeed comfort-oriented but still reflects typical GTI properties. In “Sport” mode, especially dynamic and agile handling is implemented. In the “Individual” driving profile, the DCC mode can even be configured with any other desired driving profile properties.

In the new DCC generation, it is now also possible to fully independently vary rebound and compression damping for transverse dynamic manoeuvres – a significant benefit in optimising vehicle dynamics. The damper valves were also modified for further improved response.

Cheers chaps, sounds good!

Been for a drive of a 62 plate scirocco gt diesel with 19" alloys with acc. Must say I wasn't blown away with the acc but did notice how fantasticly quiet it was over bumps and pot holes, and that was on all settings. Didn't like the comfort seeing on a motorway at all as I felt it wallowed/rebounded too much. Can still change my order with no cost implications up until build day.
