I also get the slight delay.. But I can definitely tell a difference when launching! Sits at 3k for me  :smiley:


My car is also slightly jerky in first when setting off but smooth in every other gear and reverse. Does this sound like an issue to anybody?

When launching or with normal driving? Isn't jerky when setting off one of the first signs of the mechatronics unit going?

The unit was replaced under warranty in 2011.. So if it's going again then that's annoying as I've had it serviced as recommended etc! Stupid thing.

Not 100% sure it is a sign of failing mechatronics unit - although seeing as mine does it as well that could be me hoping!

It only does it on a cold start - so pretty much in the morning each day. Reverse works fine though and I've heard that can be affected.

I've also heard DSG reset can help it - although im not sure what exactly a dsg reset is!

@Morgen

I've just seen from another post that a good test for a failing mechatronics unit is:

With the engine running, go straight from neutral to drive and see if it sets off without any hesitation or a distinctive knocking.

Same from park to drive.

I’ll try mine later but I don’t seem to remember mine doing this, hopefully yours doesn’t either. Maybe we just need this “DSG reset” I’ve heard about.

Well, my launch control isn't active. :sad1:

Tried in manual, it just revved to 1200RPM then took about a second to engage and go. In S mode I can freely rev until I release the brake and it still takes about a second to engage and launch away. With a 4motion system its really quite tame under full load, but I definitely need a remap and active launch control for my DSG 'box now.

Off to the tuners I go...

Silly question but does the handbrake have to be up or down with launch control ? Mine is a 2008 model so I'm hoping I have LC

LC pointless on a front wheel drive car as you have to turn traction control off to use it = loads of wheel spin.

Sounds good though.
