Simonl Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 I spoke to VeeDub customer service this morning regarding Launch. The woman on the phone called me back after asking technical. They said, if it existed you can use it, but on the golf it doesn't.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chriswastle Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Yes Leman tried it a couple of times just to satisfy myself after all the talk on here. It works very well, but find a quiet road unless you want to look like a complete tosser! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gribs Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 Chris, just out of interest when was your GTI built? I've still not tried out LC and don't currently intend to. There have been conflicting reports on which cars have it enabled. I'd just like to know if mine has, without actually trying it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If revs top out at 2500 ish you have launch control. You don't need to actually release the brake and and take off,(although it's fun if you do!)

shipper1 Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 As an amusing aside, a mate of mine mentioned launch control to the dealer who had never heard of such a thing! (don't you love it when you know more than the guy trying to part you from AUD$50k). He then proceeded to demonstrate to the bemused sales drone how to lay an impressive stripe of Conti rubber in the dealership driveway.

gribs Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 Cheers shipper, I know about that one. If you read some earlier threads you'll hear about people doing the same and hearing graunching noises. One of the reasons why I've never been that bothered. In the back of my mind I'd still like to know if LC is there on mine, hence the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chriswastle Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 Hi gribs, Shipper is dead right, thats how mine works, my car was build week 25, one of the first 2006 models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gribs Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 Cheers Chris. I'm a few months later than yours. I'm gonna assume it's there until I feel the need to try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
