Gen 2 Tiguan 162TSI launch control

Pretty sure all the AWD Tigs have LC.

I’d have to confirm on FWD models but that was certainly the case with gen1 Tig.

My 162 Highline has it, I used it once to see if it works and haven't bothered since and I haven't a clue how to do it now. It's in the manual so you can get it from there.

Hi Ozsko
With the new MY18.5 have they removed the ESC/traction control button? Do you need to go into the menu to turn it to ESC SPORT? That would be a tad annoying for engaging LC...

Just in case anyone was wondering how to activate launch control.

Start watching at about 30 seconds.

G’day, did you end up working this out?

I didn’t manage to get a reply from Osako. Any MY18.5 162 TSI owners want to chime in?

Sorry I missed this, my car is an early one so it has the button and yes on the later cars it is a menu item only.

I haven't launched mine yet but the stability control options are under the settings menu:

Just select ESC Sport when in "S" mode, foot hard on brake, 100% accelerator, lift foot off brake, go.

Great, thanks tigger. Are you waiting for a certain number of k’s before trying it out?
