If your not a member on the OzAudi forum, join up there, plenty of detail on the S3 there.

New S3

My sales consultant just advised me that during Golf R training yesterday in Sydney he was told that if launch control is used more than 3 times it voids your warranty.

Said it sounded like BS so now the dealership is checking with VW Australia tomorrow

So if you buy their demo car, you won't be getting warranty? As I'm sure most test drive, a launch control will be attempted at least once.

Haha that would be pretty funny.

How is launch control activated anyway? Do you just brake-boost or is there some process behind it?

Not sure. I must have been the only one who didn't do it during a demo

^ Launch controlled the S3 on demo: spectacular! Drove the R today didn't get to launch it but it was a pretty special drive, very impressive (price wise it's now got me rethinking my s3 preference). Re number of launches I've seen the figure of 200 bandied about before their are warranty issues. 3 would clearly be ridiculous...
