DCC - how good is it?

[noobmonkey]

Now I'm preparing myself for a stoning here but I can't tell the difference between any setting! Normal, Sport, Eco.

If someone put the suspension on sport and told me it was on comfort if have no idea.

The cars been up on the ramps for a wheel alignment and I'm sure they would have noticed if there were some transport pucks left in.

I'm sure he did, but maybe not in the first sentence - good point though.

He did indeed!

Yes I do have DCC. I'll test it more next time I go over a speed bump. I'm sure it's just a placebo effect.

It's like Top Gear drove the GTI around the track in normal and sport and got the same lap times to the millisecond and Comfort which was actually 0.1 of a second quicker. So this in it self shows that the different settings do nothing at all to affect performance. So I'm assuming they do nothing in the feel of the ride either. But I don't have particularly bumpy roads around here.

So far, over 1100 miles. Would I spec it again? For £800? No.

without having a similar car, hard to agree or disagree, but from what i read on here. that does not sound right at all, and sounds similar to posts with problems.

Back to Mr Jimble's point, best get it checked out asap!

It wouldn't surprise me. It's going back into the dealers as soon as they stop ignoring my phone calls. The car is excellent but the 26 average MPG & squeaky front suspension doesn't fill me with confidence that everything's fine. Oh and the front camber setting is out on one side.

doesnt sound right at all! more importantly the missed calls!

Good luck. and i hope they inspect it properly. Be clear that you are unhappy and list the points ( i know you will, but always best to check) so when you return, go on a few mile trip - with them if possible) otherwise, return back to discuss, never just drive away.

And go in the rain, then ask for a VW motorsport brolly for your troubles!

Tbf, VW don't advertise DCC as making a difference to the performance figures, and i didn't feel mine went any quicker just felt a bit more urgent in sport, the suspension on the other hand was very noticable imo, so much so that if i went over one of the large table top sleeping policemen and changed it whilst on top, you could instantly feel the difference, ie comfort going up and sport coming down. 

I've specced it on the R as well cos i've gone for 19's

This is the sort of feedback that I was hoping for, thanks.. there is a small difference for me but nothing like what you're describing so there must be something wrong.

I had a quick look at the front suspension (without jacking the car up) and I can't see or feel any evidence of transport pucks, but I guess that's not the only thing that could be causing an issue.

That's a hell of an assumption.
