Pump and lift the throttle repeatly and you will found the car is reving without moving, floor it when you ready and the car will launch itself.

Yes - but its not Launch Control.

There is a launch control, not sure the exact steps...check your manual.

I think is something like this

1. Put gears to S
2. Turn off ESP
3. Rev + Brake
4. Let go

Yes there is a launch control and your description on how to use it (in a VW that has it fitted) is correct... HOWEVER it is not fitted to the TSI118 with the DSG7 OAM gearbox. Try it and see - It wont work. From my understanding it is unlikely to appear as an option on the DSG7 down the track either.

And will most likely do damage to your car.
