Hi,
Ordered my FR DSG on Friday... Can anyone with a similar car confirm whether Launch Control works?
According to the GTi guys on UK-mkvs.net this is the procedure:
Select S
Disable ESP
Foot on Brake
Foot on Accelerator
Revs will spike then settle down to 2500rpm
Then wait for the green light and take your foot off the brake
There have been videos posted showing stock GTi's getting 0-60 in 6 seconds but I'm not sure I believe that... Almost a second faster with the DSG?!?!
But this was v. interesting: http://www.thenet.eclipse.co.uk/images/GTIDragTest.zip
The VW boys all seem to be paranoid about using Launch Control, apparantly one of them was told that using it too many times invalidates your warranty but others have sought confirmation one way or another from the $tealerships and have been told that they aren't told to look for Launch Control usage with VAGcom.
Anyway, has any one with a DSG tried this? If so - does it work?!
TIA
