Exactly - you can't get a ZF transmission for a sidewinder FWD

Yeah - It's really nice for cars with DSG (we have no clutch pedal)Originally posted by Mysticality View Post2012.1 Skoda Octavia VRS DSG Wagon - Carbonio cold air intake and pipe - HPA Motorsports BBK 355mm rotors 6 pot calipers

Caution with left foot braking while accelerating on these cars.
The electronics are set up in cars these days that prevent the throttle body opening while the brake and accelerator are applied together.
It's a design to prevent the good old "line locking" and P platers doing brake jobs.
We had a problem with a Transporter doing the same at work.
It turned out to be the combination of left foot braking and accelerating was causing the van to shut down.
Once we started using the handbrake, all good.Comment

really? on my car I can use the throttle while being on the brake. no I don't mean launch control.Comment

Guy clarified this in another thread
If you are on the accellerator and press the brakes the ECU will cut the throttle
If you are on the brakes and press the throttle, this is allowed
I haven't tried either - no idea2012.1 Skoda Octavia VRS DSG Wagon - Carbonio cold air intake and pipe - HPA Motorsports BBK 355mm rotors 6 pot calipers

DSG6 or DSG7?
they appear to act quite differently.Comment

Guy was saying this logic is inside the ECU (not the DSG)
Although it's entirely plausible that the ECU has different logic depending on the DSG unit2012.1 Skoda Octavia VRS DSG Wagon - Carbonio cold air intake and pipe - HPA Motorsports BBK 355mm rotors 6 pot calipers

That's with the 7 in the transporter.
I'll try the different sequence that was mentioned.
The CC can do the same though.
It's happened to my boss a few times. And that's the diesel with the 6.Comment

ok I can use the throttle and brake at the same time. DSG6. it tries to take off, but obviously cant due to the brakes being on.
turning off traction control turns the above move into launch controlComment

Both of these happen in my TDI M6.Originally posted by Martin View Post
Also behaved exactly the same in my Kia Sorento...

What kind of car was she driving?
My Suzuki XL7 had the accelerator stick on the freeway at 110.
The apprentice that had fitted the cruise control allowed the new cable to obstruct the throttle cable, so at freeway speed the throttle body remained jammed 2/3 open.
I'm glad it was me driving and not my wife.
Lots of noise popping it in neutral and stopping the car as the engine tried to rev it's rings off before I could shut it off safely.Comment
