3.2 V6 Launch Control?

**3Putt** · 22-08-2008, 05:59 PM

Can someone put me out of my misery and confirm that L/C is not enabled on the 3.2?

I had a go a while back, but couldn't work out if i was doing it right.

Is L/C on the R36? I was told clutch(es) could not handle the grunt, seeings that (unlike Golf GTI) 4WD would make the clutch take all the load ie. No wheelspin.

P.S. My cars in the shop at the moment (don't ask!), so can't experiment with L/C atm...

If you're asking if the R32 has L/C, it does.

Foot on the brake, shift into S, disable ESP, other foot on the throttle and it should build the revs to 3000rpm. Foot off the brake and bye bye.

I wonder if there is a mod to enable it.

Does anyone know if you can get at the DSG Mechatronics unit thru VagCom or something?

My eyesight must be going on me. I also have an R36, but can't find the section in the manual where it explains launch control. Can you tell me where it is in the manual.
