XDS 'Strong' Settings

[GrahamFR]

Just wondering if anyone on here has turned their XDS up to Strong on VCDS or other 3 letter acronyms up?

for thsoe that dont know what language i am speaking, please read http://www.golfmk6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25039

apologies that its from a rival forum but couldnt find the info on here...

My Octy came with it - I'd not be surprised if most sportier models don't come with that setting

Just been having a look this afternoon and my FR is set to normal, but according to that forum some bloke said Rocco's came with it set to strong so perhaps its on strong on the Cupras as standard

We turned a Fabia up last night from 0 to 1

0=stock
1=Weak
2=Strong


not done mine

I might turn mine up. Certainly compared to my Corsa you have to hit the brakes pretty hard on the Leon to stop, and I don't like it.

surely that would be turning it down, I thought stock would be on more than weak?

Turning the XDS up wont help you break

 

[GrahamFR]

No but I think you can changed the brake assist that might help. But id be more concerned that my Leon stopped worse than a corsa?

Bigger Car, 1.6 Brakes are tiny aswell

 

[GrahamFR]

Sorry didn't see it was a 1.6, don't think they come with XDS... But don't the new ones come with discs back and front, im still surprised

 

[AndrewJB]

according to the spec list for the S Copa and SE Copa they have XDS

 

[GrahamFR]

Well now I am surprised, but I suppose its end of the line tech for the mk2 before the mk3 comes out

Can any one check a CUPRA and confirm the settings for this then?

I meant the ABS, because the OP mentioned it

Can anyone speed me up by telling me where to find the setting in VCDS?

I would like to set mine to strong.

Link in other post mate

*** and at the top of this one...

 

[Nath.]

OK mine was set to xds center and dsr center, both are now set to strong.

My findings on a known dry roundabout exit are,,,,,,,more attempted wheelspin and therefore more traction controll light flashing.

Is this a good thing? I'm never going to track my car so I have no idea really.

It wouldn't let me into the brake assist setting.

Brake assist only comes in when the tyres lose traction so if his car isnt stopping that well then the tyres sure aint gonna be breaking traction. You wanna stop quicker get some Fr or Cupra brakes although Cupra brakes are faaakkkking heavy!
