STOP PRESS......STOP PRESS
I've found the hidden bit
As Volksman correctly said
In individual, Paul, yesterday we had trouble finding reset, it doesn't scroll down easily it would seem.
When reset it turns everything to race except suspenders which goes to Comfort
Also I have discovered it does in fact have the courtesy light (or whatever they're called) the jobbies that turn on when you turn into a side turning. They're positioned in the side of the inner headlamp pointing sideways. Very neat
Wouldn't you think this whole thing would be thought through better ....! The selling feature of the car is the N ring time - this feature should be screaming at you in the settings, not hidden away under a reset ?!
It's taken 2 intelligent, ardent VW fans to find it ... this is crazy! Even if it was described as RACE 2 setting it would be more logical, as for the toe eye - wow ... and then the fact that VW & VW uk don't make mention in the handbook or even a supplement like on Gt porsches to highlight the CS-S differences and how to Find/adjust them ...?!
#Incredulous
Has Viper definitely checked the handbook? I know it would be the last place I'd look (after forum, or a Pistonheads video..)
I find these f**k ups quite endearing actually as it just shows how special a car this is to VW in that they aren't thinking of everything we are because a low volume car is such an unusual position for them to be in. If this is testing the water, then maybe next time they will learn by their mistakes. I mean whoever thought it was clever for a RHD Mk1 Golf GTI to have the brake servo on the passenger side and connect it to the pedal by a flexible linkage, in the Mk2 this was sorted. Didn't do the Mk1 any harm in the icon rankings though
Volks - I do see your point and a bit of romance is quite nice ... I am a huge fan of the underdog and was drawn to the CS-S and away from an M2 for similar reasons to your post as in truth M cars are not M cars anymore apart from the badge and some would say Gt porsches the same ... the CS-S looks like VW's attempt to join the CSL market with a stripped out special edition ... the car looks to be a different class to its competition, hence ECOTY result which was fantastic for VW - just a bit more thought about processes that maximises the cars impact would have been great for the enthusiast, then again it gives us something to talk about which is always good ... 👍
As long as the engineering brilliance has been performed thoroughly and the car has been built to the expected VW standards, I can live with most of it.
Yes M, RS, AMG, all been diluted over last decade. I suppose the 1M was closer to the CS-S in its skunk-works ethos although can't say I am too familiar with that, what do you think? Impressed they went wide body on such a low volume car but hardware seemed a bit run of the mill.
