nice little Skoda story

Yep, there's bit of a technique to a smooth launch.

If you take your foot off the brake and hammer the accelerator, it will jerk like a bad manual driver.

The trick is to anticipate, take your foot off the brake, feel it let the clutch out and then accelerate. You won't win any races but the launch will be smooth.

and if all that fails, there's always LAUNCH CONTROL
probably not advisable everytime u take off!!!
hehehehe

Is Launch control still fitted to all the DSG boxes? I thought I read that it was removed in early 2010. I must admit I was tempted to try it when I had the load car the other day but the opportunity never really arose.

I'm not game to c if launch control is still there - car is barely 4 months old!!!
Guess I could do a check by doing the starting sequence n stopping just short of releasing the brake

If my memory serves me right - the launch control was covered off in another thread.

That's where I thought there was discussion about it being dropped.
