I didn't to be honest :confused: Not sure whether that would work too well on the 1/4 though as you would need to dial in some revs initially to get you off the line fairly quick. Something I doubt would be possible with a 2nd gear launch...
JackG:
It's pretty clever how it works.....it's a test plan used to check the clutch plates for vibrations etc and faults being the box has 2 clutches, how healthy it is on the car I don't know....even on a manual I think your burn the clutch pretty quick setting of in second,
I can't fully remember how it's done but if memory serves me correct you put the car in reverse and then D and then Reverse and then select manual and select second, it may be right it may not but it is a combination of that type, I don't work for VW any more so can't check :fighting:

Think i might have to give this a go tomorrow. see if its any good for pulling away when grip is limited lol

You're getting there Gaz.. :pomppomp: At least you know that the car is running well as you have pretty much done a carbon copy of my mate's times (the human dustbin who camped with us the other year if you remember? :signLOL:). He is also running a pre-FL S2+ manual S3 and got 5.0, 5.1, 5.1 & 13.2, 13.1, 13.1 from his 3 runs on Sat..
His biggest problem is his SMF that won't allow him to be too quick on the stick.. :sad1:
