DCC is way better than the roc as you can adjust steering an throttle response, its firmer but not really worse

Is it same technology though on the shocks? IIRC Roc is oil level (therefore damping) controlled by a valve.

From reading your posts on Scirocco Central, you never seemed very impressed with that system

that system was totally flawed due to steering weighting being predetermined to which setting you had, this isn't, 300 mile test drive in a 7 GTI won be over

race mode isn't the fastest way from A-B in the UK in a 7R

Thing is, if your 7R goes in for a dodgy electric window motor (for example), why would the dealer have any need to look at your ECU?

Apparently that TD1 marker gets put back on (or off?) if stock file is flashed back on so you can't tell.

No they wont... but they might if your turbo blows up or sends a valve flying out of the bonnet.
