I've read up a few things about being able to launch the BiTDi and decided to give it a go.

So, for those who haven't heard of this before, apparently the procedure is the same as in the RS6 (same tiptronic gearbox).

Warm engine is needed for this to work:

Shift into Neutral.
Turn off auto-hold, traction control and start stop.
Put into Dynamic mode
Shift into S1
Left foot hard on brake
Right foot down in the accelerator

It revs to about 3100 rpm then you have to release the brake within 5 seconds.

It worked for me and the acceleration was unbelievable. I had a MK7 Golf R (manual) before the A6 and the launch felt faster than anything I ever achieved in that.

If it's anything like the RS6, apparently you've got 200 launches then it won't do it anymore and it records them on the ECU.

To be fair, it was loads of fun and my friend in the car couldn't believe the acceleration. It really throws you back into your seat. I've now just got to be disciplined as it is addictive
