May have found the replacement for starting vibration reduction on the MK7.5

You sure that RRO is intervening and it's not a bit of wheel hop that you're getting?

100% sure on mine. But with decent tires, it's only in heavy rain. I can live with that. The traction control light on the dash will go nuts and it pulls power if too much wheels spin, even absent hop. I'm also 6MT, so maybe there's a difference?

 

[Reggie Enchilada]

That's definitely possible. Could be a safety feature to prevent severe wheel hop that could damage things.

These cars are intolerably confusing, at times.

Yes, but when you get them right, they're just fantastic. I've got mine almost to that point. I'm really happy about how it's shaping up.

I have disabled both options and it’s still intervening.

esc off already？

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the Electronic Differential Lock the name for XDS in VAG-COM given that it's in the ABS module? If so, I'm not sure why you'd want to disable that. Turning it to weak, sure, but disabling it wouldn't really help anything. XDS has nothing to do with SVR or RRO.

Turn XDS to weak, enable ESC Off, disable SVR/RRO, and change the VAQ setting to increased traction. Make sure to turn ESC off when you get in the car and test things out after those tweaks. That should clear up your problem.

Yes - Electronic Differential Lock = XDS - applies brakes to inner wheel to help prevent spin while turning. Fact is, folks have no clue what most of this stuff actually does w/r to what they are trying to prevent.

I'm ignorant about a lot of things. XDS doesn't really affect cutting power off the line as per RRO, correct? In my limited understanding, are XDS settings more of a "poor man's LSD" on cars without LSD from the factory? Off topic I know, but curious.

Yeah, I have tried to change the bite 29 for 05,06,89,88,87,86... and all of them keep intervening

I did not try the eletronic differential lock on weak, I put it in not available, as people do.

Correct! It's not cutting power, it's just applying the brakes to the front (XDS) or front and rear (XDS+) to help with hard cornering.

Are you pressing and holding the button in the car to turn it off while driving after making the tweak?

People don't do that, you're misunderstanding what it's used for. Don't disable the XDS, it helps the car to corner better by braking an inside wheel or two to increase the rotational speed.

This thread is great! A lot of good learning material in here.
