Launch control.

[Lucas_R]

I'm not really confident that it's installed in every Golf model. The instructions in the manual states it takes the revs to 3200rpm. It doesn't differentiate between petrol and diesel engines. Nor could I see a way to "disable TCS" in the car. Happy to be proven wrong, but the go pedal seems to do the trick already.

I must admit, the Mk7 TDI doesn't "launch" as well as my old Mk5 TDI 2.0. Not sure why...

I seriously doubt that all golf variants have the launch control function, in previous models it was only accessible in the higher power turbo variants.

^ this is true also. In the MK6, only the GTi and R models had this feature (i believe it was the same in the MK5 range too). With the ongoing 7 speed DSG (DQ200) issues, even if it did allow launch control, i wouldn't be using it anyway.
