Launch Control

[nobeadm]

I was trying launch control on my GT TDI 08 today, but it wouldnt rev above 1.2k. I had ESP off and switched to S mode and everything, but it just woundnt work.

Is this because my cars TDI or do i need a software upgrade? Does anyone know?

TDI doesn't have launch control and cannot have it enabled. Only the GT TSI and the GTI/R32 have it on the Golf.

I think you'll find that the immense amount of torque the TDI generates is so large that electrons can't move down copper fast enough to regulate the clutch and throttle in time.

Oh well, swings and roundabouts...

It's because the slasher on the back can't lift fast enough when launch control is enabled

That's true as well, you don't want the tractor using launch control in a playground

I find mine launches fine when I push my right foot down hard and once you change into 2nd gear in these things and floor it you get launched backwards into the seat anyway

"Launch Control" it sounds like you're aiming for the moon, straight up

I am proud of my tractor. I am thinking of towing the old mans caravan this year. Why? Becasue I can.

Well I wouldn't want DSG anyway. It might do a reverse launch control into a forklift.

That's gold

Stop encouraging him Mav, you'll upset all the DSG owners again

Bloody hell! So that's what that big flat thing is hanging off the back of my car . . .

We all know DSG translated from German is Der Schizer Gearboxen

Just checked the Launch Control topic in my manual and it says "Only models with launch control program". Not really useful, as nothing is mentioned that it doesn't apply to TDIs. I wonder what would have happened if I had been tempted to try it out?

You would have been disappointed when it operated just like it does normally

I have launch control built into my left leg. Tends to hop if used excessively, even with the APR torque arm insert. What I've heard.

A lot of TDI bagging from a guy that started out on here with an ORDER for one Mav....
