DSG Launch control

[Sug]

It's bloody great........

[Saj]

Definitely trying this today!

[Phil_H]

Confirmed.....My Nov '05 has it....

Also confirmed...lack of grip :) (Avon's)

Would be much better if they came with a LSD as standard!

So if you have launch control it wont let you rev over 3000 with your foot on the brake? Can't see anything in my manual but i have no idea what launch control would be in Spanish. And car has to be up to temp?

[Phil_H]

ESP off.....Sport or -/+, foot on brake

Yeah mine went to about 2800rpm....but to be honest I reckon holding it at about 2400ish is better, and then when you release the brake get ready to work the throttle, otherwise you'll be leaving a fair bit of rubber down :)

So what will happen if you don't have it and you do the procedure?

Does it give you a quicker 0-60 then?

Control de Lanzamiento.

Control de Lanzamiento. 

Its not in the manual. 

Currently my car gets to about 75deg when i've fitted the new stat i will give it a go.

Wow, hard to control! I rev mine to about 2500 but then really let off or the wheels just spin. I think I'm going to have to perfect it.

Still confused by how to tell if you DONT have it though.

The car will not pull

I had launch control yet traction was an issue

So you do start moving, just without any pull? Surely there would be some pull at 3000 revs in sport mode?

(1)When the motor is at operating temps....(2)put it into the 'S' or Tiptronic position...(3)hold the brake pedal down while depressing the throttle to raise the revs. If it doesn't reach 2800rpm while still holding the brake pedal down...you do not have Launch Control activated. A dealer can do it for you...mine wasn't active and the dealer turned it on at no charge for me.

When you let off of the brake pedal...it will engage the clutch and launch. Before this the clutch remains disengaged and it is just like having a manual tranny with the clutch pedal depressed.

Good news for @dazza

I have a GIAC DSG tune and that allows my revs to reach 3800rpm for launches.
You get a sense of its operation from my 1/4 mile vid:
