Hi, all.
I just discovered the "fun switch" under my car's go pedal. It's probably really called the "downshift switch" or something else. Anyway, it brings the engine to life like I have not seen before.
This morning I was manually shifting my DSG, and sure the car is decently strong, but in 4th gear it seems to top out. I figured there had to be more power in the engine, so after the next stoplight changed to green, I decided to see what I could find. I pushed the go pedal harder and found what I am calling the "fun switch." When I pushed that, the tires chirped, the "you're having too much fun" (traction) dashboard light flashed a few times, the engine roared to life, and I ran through the gears faster than I've ever seen it do before.
Now, I want fuel economy, so I'm not going to be doing that often, but it's nice to know that it's there, and that the car is a lot more fun than I knew before.
Now I REALLY need to get a GTI paddle steering wheel!
