Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    Freaking wish they did. More torque than an R32/GTI yet still NO launch control

      Yes, I think that's why the diesels don't have it. More torque. Can you imagine releasing 350Nm of torque in one go?

        Would be a nice feature but not sure if it's more than my modded 32, 380Nm..

            Lauch doesnt seem to just "Dump" in one go, it takes up drive over a few hundred miilliseconds. This can make a BIG diff to mechanical loads.

              I find it interesting that my manual makes no mention of the launch control function? Perhaps they didn't want us to know about it!

                Sounds like you got a torque monster there yourself! should be able to arrange it sometime.

                How many kW you got? Need a bit of both .

                  I'm guessing you mean instruction manual? I've heard they have a section in there all about it.

                    Ah yes but torque always equals horsepower at at 5252 rpm so youve got at least 125hp too
