Afternoon all,
So, just wondering if my Q2 has launch control? If so does anyone know how to test it? I have the 2.0tdi with 190bhp so with that power I would have thought it might? I do not have drive select unfortunately but I do have the S-tronic gearbox.
Launch control?

Re: Launch control?
My Owners Manual tells you how to set it up but only says you need a DSG gearbox and Launch Control Program. I suppose you could try it and see.
The launch control programme enables maximum acceleration.
The launch control programme is not available
for all engine/gearbox combinations.
Important: The engine must be warm and the
steering wheel must be pointing straight ahead.
• Deactivate the start/stop system. The LED in the button will light up.
• Deactivate the hold assist. The LED in the button will go out.
• Press the stability control button once briefly while the engine is running.
Briefly pull the selector lever back from position D/S to select position S, or move the selector lever to the right into the tiptronic gate, or
select dynamic mode in drive select.
• Press the brake pedal firmly with your left foot and hold it down for at Least one second.
• At the same time, press the accelerator all the way down with your right foot until the engine revs are high and steady.
• Take your left foot off the brake.

Re: Launch control?
Did you have any success trying this?
Hope your clutch is still ok!

Re: Launch control?
Hey, no haven’t yet. Tried it then bottled out. Been super wet here and I haven’t really had an open safe bit of road to do it. I want to try it, just to see what it’s like, I will when the time is right!

Re: Launch control?
Was just wondering if you had tried this yet?
I don't blame you if you'r not very keen on trying it, not sure I would want to try it not knowing whether it worked or not.

Re: Launch control?
It works fine, the twin clutch gearbox is more than happy doing this. I used to launch my old S3 all the time.
