Hey all, just an update. I did this mod tonight too.
Definitely a different in the normal and sport mode. I like it!
when I break traction from a stop in sport mode the tires do much more of a high pitched squeal than a wheel hop.
I didnt notice such a big different in steering weight in my quick drive. Though I am not doubting what others are saying here with the heavy steering.
One this I did notice on one rough patch of road in 1st gear is a little hint of torque steer. Really nothing too bad, but something I was sensitive enough to detect (on crappy OEM Pirelli all season tires), I do like it as it feels a little more aggressive. perhaps this is why VW left this on the table from the factory?
Overall, I like it an do recommend it, the improvement in traction coming out of corners in unbelievable. Honestly I think VW could have charged like $1000 for this option and people would have checked the box. great thing this is free! beautiful easter egg
would like to hear more opinions and reviews
EDIT: I also did NOT notice any difference in any increased noise in the "increased traction" setting. has anyone noticed an increase in noise?
