Hey guys,
Quite a strange thing has been happening with my S3, it doesn't happen all the time but occasionally crops up when using launch control.
Now this might sound very odd but it doesn't allow full boost/max launch revs when my central MMI screen is down? REALLY strange I know but soon as I put the screen back up it allows me to launch properly and allows max revs. I can tell this is not just the boost gauge playing up (I have VC) as theres an audible difference when preparing for launch and the fact it holds the revs higher.
An example of this difference is in a launch control video I did a while back, I didn't mention it in there but wanted to know if anyone else has experienced the same thing. Doesn't matter if ESC is off or in Sport. Car is also warm.
To get an idea of what Im on about compare the launch sound right at the start of the video and at the 2:57 mark, you'll notice the second one is allowing more revs.
Oh and yes excuse the rudimentary 60mph measuring system lol*
