Jay's Golf Coupe "racek0r" project

I took the A3 along with some cash as a swap for my Golf.

It's only up for sale, I'm not doing anything with it lol :) It's a lovely car though...really good condition.


Sorting out some bits in preparation for more tuning work on the 'Rocco.....going to get very expensive from here on out.

xjay1337:
Enabled the XDS+ differential which is actually really quite something. A big transformation for what is basically a checkbox on Vagcom. Set mine on strong so the same as a Scirocco R.
Mmmmmm.

Whitt_tdi:
What's the Xds?  Can this be enabled on other dsg model vw's

xjay1337:
It emulates a limited slip diff by braking the inside/spinning wheel, the idea being the power goes to the other wheel.
It makes turn in noticably better and feels the front end is more planted and easier to hold a tight line.

While I am wanting to get a proper LSD from Alex on the group buy, for now this will do.  :happy2:

th3_f15t:
So VW introduced a mock differential on the 'Rocco, decided it would only be 'switched on' for the premium models? This is quite a good thing in my mind, £10 for someone to plug in VCDS and turn it on for cheaper models is a great tuning potential.
