Have to admit I'm a bit hesitant (frightened?) to use it because of axle tramp or wheelspin but maybe you have convinced me?2010 Vrs Tsi DSG Estate Anthracite Zenons Foglights Sunroof Front Parking Sensors Leather Tint Bluefin Love it!

It doesn't work on the diesels does it?Comment

To do it,
1. Select "S" on the gearbox
2. Turn off ESP
3. Hold down brake and accelerator at the same time, the engine should rev to around 3000RPM and hold the revs
4. Let your foot of the brake and GO!MY15 Octavia RS 162TSI Sedan, Race Blue with Tech Pack and LeatherComment

1. start engineOriginally posted by Brycem View Post
2. turn esp off
3. shift into triptronic ('+'/'-') or 'sport' mode
4. with left foot on brake, apply throttle (don't floor it!) - should only rev upto 2500-3000 rpm
if u cannot rev past 1200 rpm, u do not have launch control
5. foot off the brakes and off u go!!MY17 Superb 162TSI, Business Grey, Tech+Comfort Pack, APR ECU+TCU Stg 1, SLA, Rieger Splitter + Side Skirts, Eibach Pro-Kit Springs, Hardrace Swaybar, TPMS

Tried it out last night. Very entertaining - more wheelspin than I imagined a launch control to create.
ironically, after a few runs of screeching wheels, I was thinking "more power required LOL". Time to start looking at some upgrades?Comment
