I know there are 3 settings to the XDS differential on the vRS mk3, anyone had a play with this?

Cheers. So how did you guys access the setting. I assume it's done in service mode? Also interested in how the car behaves between the settings on the road..

I switched to 'Strong' a couple of weeks ago. At the moment I can't say I like it. Maybe it's my imagination but when giving it 50% throttle on a 2nd or 3rd gear corner if feels like the car is hitting a brick wall. AFAIK the XDS works by grabbing the inside brake, and that's what I'm noticing. It does seem to guide the car round the corner better, it just feels restrained.

Yea I thought that might be the case with the non - diff cars (RS220/162), the RS230 feels nice with the diff, but the T/C light comes on when pushed, but that might be a tyre problem (Grip)
