    Tried my First Launch control today

    Hi all, I think I've finally gotten to the bottom of this!! It appears that I needed to turn hill hold assist off! It now holds the revs at around 2.5k and makes that lovely 'bouncing off the limiter' sound. Awesome!

    Tried my First Launch control today

    Hmm how strange. I'm doing exactly the same and all I get is the revs rise to 1500rpm but the car is struggling against the brakes. Nothing like LC where the revs intentionally rise to 3-4k and hold there.

    Tried my First Launch control today

    Update: I can confirm this doesn't work on my car. Tried again today, once with ESC in sport (single press) and once with ESC off (press & hold). I even tried the car in Dynamic, as well as not in Dynamic but just in 'S'. Nothing.

    Tried my First Launch control today

    Thanks for your reply. Do you mean ESC in sport (single button press) or ESC off (press + hold)? Did you find the revs go up to 3-4k? Any feeling of the car pulling against the brakes?

    Tried my First Launch control today

    Hi all, Since this post has been brought up again I may as well ask here... Does my A4 B9 2.0 TFSI s-tronic 190 have LC? I've tried the procedure outlined above but all that happened was the car struggled against the brakes to about 1500rpm then gave up. To be clear... Engine was def at...

    Steering (ESP) fault. VCDS needed in Leicester

    Hi all, I was hoping someone in Leicester with a VCDS could get rid of my 00778 ESP fault. Which is to do with the angle sensor inside my steering column. It reads: "steering angle sensor (G85) no or wrong adaptation" I've already tried driving around doing lock to lock etc but it hasn't...

    Freewheeling/coasting then stop/ start engine

It's not like your usual hybrid vehicle where the electric motor can be used to drive the vehicle. It's more a feature consisiting of an enhanced starter motor & battery which...

    Which fuel? Supermarket or not?

    Yep, my mistake! Cheers! Also, I can confirm that the sticker on the inside of the 2.0TFSI's cap reads 95RON.

    Which fuel? Supermarket or not?

    The contributors to this thread have helped me make my decision - that I will happily use supermarket fuel. As you've said there, it was more the convenience of whichever station is near me more than anything. And I have a sainsburys petrol station quite close by .

    Hill Hold Assist Standard Fit?

    Not sure if you're still looking for an answer on this, but I can confirm that there is a second button next to the Parking Brake button. And it came standard on mine...I didn't specify HHA.
