Identifying ACC
« on: 29 February 2016, 14:09 »
Hiya, I've been pondering if it's possible to physically check if a Golf has ACC fitted?  Maybe some form of connector or wires from the suspension?

Thanks.

If you go to the driver profile menu (button next to gearstick), select individual and settings, you'll have suspension settings under there I think).

Not 100% I'm right as to the submenu, but it's deffo in there somewhere.

Radar sensor on the front is an obvious one:

Sorry for the confusion as I made that sound like the adaptive cruise control, I was meaning the chassis control.  Thanks anyway.

So if you have the option for suspension settings in there then it means that you have the fancy suspension?  I've seen that and wondered if it was just a global option and just ignored if you didn't have the bits so to speak.

Just googled it.

If you get the option of "comfort" as one of the driving modes, you've got DCC.

Simples lol!

I think you can have driving profile selection even without DCC - but with you should have an option for the suspension when you go into custom setup.

EVO magazine found out that one of their longterm test cars had DCC when they found the options in the menu!  :rolleyes:

Easy one to tell is it's a lot harder in sport than comfort.

Great thing to have in my opinion.
