      The rs5 has a sequence to launch without lurching!!..
      step 1: all traction control off completely..
      Step 2: gearbox in drive and flick across to manual mode...
      step 3: step the break and accelerator and away you go!!
      No lurching bro!!
      Hope this helps

    As soon as me and the Mrs heard that sound at the start we both knew what it was,the EXACT same thing happened to our Mitsubishi Evo X a few weeks back.
    Not sure if you did it but there noise is even worse when you put it in drive and then gave it some revs.
    Lucky enough we had a new AMG A45s on order that turned up shortly after.
    Good news is that i pick the Evo back up this week 😁

    I’m on engine no3 on my Saab 93 Z19DTH. First engine popped piston head 1 after 136,000 miles with the last 60,000 of those with a stage 2 remap to 223BHP. Turned out the person who mapped it with their own Zafira map, set it to demand 550 millibars of boost and 610NM from idle. Madness! Engine no2 lasted 2500 miles - not from driving it hard, but a bolt or washer must have dropped in to the engine during transplant and worked its way to a cylendar and smashed about in there. Engine no3 went in 2 weeks ago and I’ve had it custom rolling road mapped to 196bhp with progressive boost and 440NM. Much better. Much smoother.

      S WB i never said it’s anyone else’s problem, but cars have warranties for a reason. Yes if it’s completely stripped out and a race car I get it. However if you can at least get a contribution why not try.

    Do you have an APR tune on it? I just got one on mine and it removes the limiter that keeps these cars with the keyless startup from actuating . It's a safety thing. But APR removes that and I actually for the first time tried it lastnight and I guess they didn't turn that in for me when setting up the tune.. soooo what I'm seeing here is don't try it? Just curious to know if you tried it with an APR tune with the removal of the safety ? Thx mate..

    Never good when a new car goes bad! I recall a BMW dealer tell me that if I were ever to buy a new car with launch control, get the dealer to print off the sheet indicating how many Launch Controls have taken place, it’s all recorded! This was at the time of the E46 M3 SMG. Ever since I have often wondered about these DSG or DCT systems and would never choose one over a manual despite the advantages. Good Luck with all that you do to the car.

    Something similar happened to my F10 M5, although I never launched. I had a leaking DCT box, never knew it was leaking, got hot temperature warning which I thought was the clutch needing replacing as advised by mechanic. After opened up, told it was missing 3 litres out of 9, destroyed my transmission and clutch and flywheel, had to buy a used flywheel, transmission which I found ebay 27k miles, one same as you otherwise would have been huge if buying new. Upgraded clutch and finally got her working agai!

If the car was an older model, reckon you'd of had a better result. Not sure the history, but you done the air intake? And what turbo have you ordered? Interested to know. Slick ride though.
