Is that true? I didn't know that no.

Oh and why aren't you going? (I feel I've already asked this question )

 

[olitaylor07]

I don't know pal to be honest.

Yeah it's illegal because by law it has to show kmh and since it's not on the clocks it's in the mfd and when you select rest of the world from England (or whatever it is) then it disables this. However you can enable it again via the mfd but the mph goes.

Gna try this tomorrow n see how I get on, mine is an 11 plate so I'll see how it turns out

 

[olitaylor07]

And turn your XDS up to 3 minty9 aswell. Electronic diff which is set to 3 on Cupra R's making it more aggressive.

Are there any side effects to this? What exactly does this do lol?

Supposed to act like and LSD. When mid corner if you add power if supposed to measure like, steering angle, power, slip ect and brake the inside wheel slightly therefore acting like an LSD.

Nothing like the real thing but worth a try. You can slightly tell the difference. FR's are set to 0

The reason this is on full on CupraR is because it has bigger brakes than the FRs. The xds uses the brakes to stimulate the effects of an LSD... Sort of. So the brakes on the FR will wear quicker

It does work though in the sense that you can come into a corner quicker and just throw it in, relying on the electronics to keep the car right.

I'll give it a read now. With the fog DLR....is it a reduced power output? For obvious reasons lol

I don't get that though unless you are going to another country.

We measure speed in mph in England and all speed limits are mph so I'm not sure I understand the need for kmh.

Me neither it's just the regulations pal. I asked me dealer to do it said no so I did it lol.

You can't just go into a corner quicker because it won't correct anything, neither would a LSD. It's all about getting the power down through the corner and exit and not just pushing the front end further and further out.

And this is where XDS is nothing like an LSD. LSD will put power to the outside wheel, xds does the opposite. So all in all you lose speed, but you can approach the corner quicker knowing you can power through it

Probably some Brussels thang! Just makes me want to change it to mph even more now.

But, i would be happy with a totally within regulations needle sweep
