Hi,

I have Googled and searched the Eos Club forum for information about this feature. Most hits I get relate to 2.0T versions, and most are a bit vague. As well, there seems to be confusion about what Launch control actually is.

Due to snowy conditions where I live, I have no chance to test this right now, therefore I ask owners of 2007 V6 3.2's: Does LC exist? Does it work?
What must one do?

Thanks in advance,
Jorgen

Here's a video from YouTube on use of the LC. I think it is only on GTI models though. I don't care to tear up my brake pads/rotors or transmission trying to find out about the Eos.

I have this 'procedure' in my clipboard (I've never tried it...). I don't remember where I found it.

DSG has a hidden Launch Control...

1) Get in your parked car.
2) Put on your seatbelt.
3) Put pressure on brake.
4) Turn on car.
5) Put the Shifter directly between "D" and "N".
6) Slowly release the brake, you should hear a "CLICK" if the car moves forward or backwards try steps 3-6 again until you hear a "CLICK" and the car doesn't move when you release the brake.
7) Shift car to either "D" "S" or "tiptronic" mode , the selected gear should be flashing on your dash if you did it correctly.
8) Put pressure on the gas. (no feet should not be on the brake)
9) Rev up to your desired RPM rate. (over 3500 at least)
10) Tap the brake ONCE (1 quick tap)

Thx guys.

I'm going to try em both when the snow melts...

I do hope, that Darren's suggestion works, cause it seems the simpler of the two.
:D
