Launching a BiTDi

[dtwort]

From what I understand, the S-Tronic (DSG) launch control is different to the Tiptronic launch which I'm talking about here. The S-Tronic box has it as a selectable feature, whilst the Tiptronic (8 speed torque converter auto compared to the 7 speed DSG box) is done by following the above procedure.

Mines done 2400 miles and to be fair, I've never run in any new car I've had (and this is my 6th brand new car). I'm always careful for the first few hundred miles whilst the brakes etc bed in, but modern cars are so Advanced they don't really need running in, in my opinion.

I'm not patient enough to wait that long anyway

Hi JSRed,

The procedure is the same on the new S-Tronics. Or rather, I have a MY17 and that's the procedure that's written in my handbook.

On the early S-Tronics it was never that well publicised by Audi.

I don't know if they build the new S-Tronics slightly differently (Gen 2 maybe?) but it's now an approved feature and the 200 limit has been removed.

Also worth noting.....

All it does is get rid of the turbo lag as it's already spooled up. You know when you put it into Dynamic and then floor it, there is that second or so before your body gets pushed into your seat, it's just that straight away

I think the delay is nearer half a second. Did this a couple of years ago with my allroad and timed 0 - 60 with dynolicious on an iPhone.

Just planting the accelerator in sport mode gave about 5.5 secs to 60 MPH (allroad is quoted at 5.6 secs to 100 kph / 62 MPH so that seems about right).
Following the launch control procedure (and I only reved it to 2800 - the both turbos are spooled up at that point) resulted in 4.9 secs to 60 MPH.

WOW launch control is amazing, had three goes last night so I have 197 launches left

Just trying to do it all within 5 seconds is hard lol

You've only got to do the brake and accelerate within 5 seconds, not everything else

Quite enjoy using launch on the GTR, sadly my A6 is for work and is a bik tax friendly ultra.
