I think it's in the book under the S-Tronic section? I think you press and hold the traction control button a number of times then depress the brake and then the throttle, the revs limit at something like 3500rpm, then let go of the brake to launch!
Or something like that anyway? I will be giving it a go once fully run in lol. Ok I only have the 1.8 not an S3 but it should still give a good kick up the backside
I think launch control is only available on the 6 speed wet clutch s-tronic so 1.8T Quattro (not 1.8T FWD) and above.
Can't remember if you have Quattro.

do you think it will work with the 2.0 TDI 184 Quattro S tronic then ?
Mate tested an S3 couple of weeks ago with launch control and only had 170 miles on the clock and no doubt crappy fuel.
With a Vbox same as they use in the magazines.
0-60 4.7s
0-100 10.9s
30-130 19s
your stage 1 must be around 300-310 hp, no ?
Is there any limit to number of launches you can do? I recall from somewhere on internet that more than 3 launches between services can invaildate warranty? Can anyone with the handbook shed any light?
If that was the case then am sure it would be in bold text somewhere. However I have no doubt that you'd get through a clutch pretty quickly.
You'll probably burn a manual clutch out quickly but them s-tronic clutches don't even flinch if the older S3 and golf R's are anything to go by, even on highly modified cars!
That's why it's limited to 200 launcheslt does state in the handbook that launch control can add more ware to the gear box & use with care..

Does it need to be in dynamic mode for drive select?You need to bury the brake pedal not just apply the brakes and leave a second or two between doing this and burying the throttle.
Otherwise it gets all confused and just mushes around at 1200 revs and does nothing but wears the clutch down for no fun lol
Oh, and it works better if you completely switch ESP OFF rather than just in Sport mode as I found out today
Checklist goes:
Stop/Start - Disabled
ESP - OFF
Gearbox - S or Manual
Bury Brake Pedal
Bury Throttle
At 4k RPM let go of brake pedal
Grin like a Goon!

Any excuse to LC huh? LolNo I don't think it doe, the box just needs to be in S. I normally run around in Individual settings but will try it in Eco with the box in S and see
