Has your launch control issue been resolved?

To activate launch control you need to hold the DSC button down for approx 5 secs. until it comes up on your nav screen as DSC off
Sport + in maunal mode Throttle then needs to be punched hard down, not progressive. Car needs to be warm also Enjoy Last edited by koastal; 05-19-2016 at 11:59 PM.. |

Kind of. It will activate now but it won't let me rev over 2k. I'm going to test it again this weekend when I have time to make sure I've warmed it up enough etc.
Does the car limit the number of consecutive launches it will let you do? |

Have you felt any difference in the engine performance otherwise, like overboost is working now also? Others have commented on a more lively engine after the 1200 mi service.

I think it takes a few parameters into account before you can do consecutive launches, transmission temps is the major one.

The car is definitely quick but it also requires work to drive fast in the sense that you really need to get into it to fully enjoy it...opposed to car that's simply "gas and gooooo". Mine is DCT. I'm still having launch control issues. I tested again today. It will activate but once I let off the brake, the rpms drop off even with the gas pedal fully depressed. |

After reading your troubles, I'm glad my launch control will be my left pedal. Hope you get it working

No I haven't. What's the default setting? Mine activates and when I release the brake, it doesn't shift and stays at redline in first gear til I shift myself. I won't reactivate again after one attempt.

If this was happening to me, I would probably take the car in, get a service technician to ride with me, and show them what's occurring. You're correct that not shifting automatically with Launch Control active is not the expected behavior.

No. It should shift the first few gears before you have to.

Apparently I thought I was but not enough. Someone else did manage to launch the car though.
