Reply With QuoteI just reviewed my research and I should have said steering maps not profiles.
"Aside from the muscular and efficient new TSI engines, arguably the most important mechanical change inside the new Golf VI is the use of adaptive dampers. VW calls the system Adaptive Chassis Control but label it, confusingly, DCC. The system incorporates alternate steering maps for the Golf's new electromechanical steering but most of the trickery is in the electronically-controlled dampers.
DCC-equipped Golf models ride 10mm lower than the conventional cars and feature a Monroe-sourced damper system that uses an Ohlins-supplied magnetic valve block to automatically control pitch and roll when cornering, accelerating and braking. To do so the system interrogates a range of sensors across the car including steering, engine, DSG transmission, braking and other systems, including stability control et al.
Three settings are offered -- Normal, the default setting; Comfort and Sport -- and changed via a simple console mounted switch. The last setting used is 'saved' and automatically reactivated at start.
In Sport mode, the Golf's steering is also firmed up."
and from another source..
"The memory has capacity for up to 16 differnt maps. In the Golf 2004, for example 8 of the total available maps are used. ...... Maps are activate in the factory depending on requirements....... However, Maps can be activated in a service center using VAS 5051" or VAG-COM no doubt.
Oh and J-Tim, I realise you cannot select ride with the Sports Pack. Just wondering if Sports Pack has a different steering map assigned in the same way as the ACC option does.
