DSG, no launch control, quick start?

<< < (2/4) > >>

GrayMK5GTI:
Isn't launch control a bit of a waste of time - unless you want to leave a great big 11 down the road and take a couple of mm of tread off your tyres?

That's what happened when my mate showed me in his DSG GTI  :sad1:

SRC:
Torque is limited when you've got your foot on the brake, so hold it on the handbrake for 1 - 1.5 sec before pressing the throttle.

arris:
How do you get launch control? Does it need programming in?

Markyed30:
Btw it won't work till engine is at 90 fully warmed up I find it a bit of a faff tbh not any difference from letting go brake and giving it gas, on launch I find a time laps from letting off to the clutch bite point and it's all throttle controll as it will spin I thought it would control wheelspin?

Retro:
Evening all, turns out that after warming up the car I do have launch control!
I can see it being a bit of fun when the weather is hotter. Tonight it was wet so launch control just made the car spin on the spot.
I imagine it being sweet if you master the control of the car to stop it wheel spinning.
I thought it was only for 2006 onwards 

Probably not use it much though :laugh:

Thanks for all your replies
