    Actually the coffee is necessary. Without a coffee the car won’t launch it’s in the manual 🤣. Great video. Short and to the point.

    2 questions 1 can I do it in dynamic mode and use paddles or does it have to be in sport? Second question do I have traction control on sport or turn it completely off ? Please lmk

    I noticed you have the eqt stage 2, I have a 2017 s3 and my brother has a 2016 R, we both got the stage 2 e30 tune and dsg tune from there but we get transmission overheat warnings everytime we tried to launch the car, wondering if you ever experienced a warning like us? Lmk👍

      Hmm that’s weird.. I’ve launch it a few times with no issues at all.. have you guys had a dsg flush done recently? Maybe it is overdue causing more heat.. I haven’t really heard of over heating the gear box unless you’re launching the car back to back multiple times

      @@DArias I've launched the car with absolutely no problem multiple times pre-tune, but as soon as I tuned it thats when the issues occurred. My brother flushed and even reset his dsg and same issues appeared. We think its something to do with the clutch packs

    No dynamic mode?

    • @DArias
      @DArias  3 роки тому +1

      You can launch in any mode I believe as long as it’s in sport and traction is off

    Wait does the car have to be up to temp?

    • @DArias
      @DArias  3 роки тому +1

      Yes if I’m not mistaken oil temp needs to be 190+ before the ecu allows you to activate

    How long do you hold the brake down to build perfect boost? That seems the next question...

    • @DArias
      @DArias  3 роки тому +2

      It’ll build full boost after about 2 seconds of holding. Mine builds around 14psi on launch control

    • @DArias
      @DArias  3 роки тому +1

      Unfortunately there’s no factory launch control for MQB manuals. You’d need to get a tune to have a launch control set

      @@DArias weird, I thought you were looking at the Cobb LC oil temperature requirement, I did launch my S3 on oil temperature of 150, it won’t at 140, car got cold at the track had to wait a few seconds before staging to get at 150 🤔 maybe because I have a 2016.

    • @ForRJ
      @ForRJ 4 роки тому

      Btw 150 was the reading on the car cluster gauge (coded thru obdeleven) the Accessport was still reading in the 140s
