I got 2020 Macan GTS and I don't have "launch control".

I'm pretty sure you do have it. When the engine temperature is optimal, sport mode, floor the left pedal, the right one, release the left one.
Note that if the engine oil is not warmed up, the launch control won't engage and you'll feel the car fighting against its brakes.

EDIT - adding back my instructions from my previous message, which got moved into the "Origin of the PDK" thread.
Without the SC pack, one still has LC:

• get engine to normal temp,
• activate Sport mode,
• floor the brakes,
• floor the accelerator,
• release the brakes.

Example video.

This won't fight against the brakes, it will do a real clutch dump - if it does fight against your brakes, the launch control did not engage, probably because the engine/oil are not at optimal temperature yet.

And, some says to disable the stability control: that's actually not required, and it'll only make your launch more dangerous.

Wow, calm down. Some folks actually have the technical background to share informed opinions

LOL...

This is only part of your post that is not accurate . This thread addresses it because what you are say9ing above was toted on various forums . After initial debate it ends on post number 9 with a quoted source . Although the Audi unit was influential the Porsche unit is a "derivative" of it with some different hardware and changes .

Origins of the PDK - Audi, ZF, Unicorn tears, etc.

Moved thread hijacked posts from Divexxtreme's review thread here... - whoosh

Another former thread actually shows the parts and goes further revealing the differences of the first Gen S Vs Turbo which piped down a few who bought a Macan S and beloved they couild modify it to be an equivalent Turbo without any potential PDK issue at that time .

I have been here a long time . I do pay attention .

...that would be, touted


merging the DL501 related posts with the existing thread!

A Macan GTS or older Turbo is most certainly made for drag racing

It will not break your PDK transmission. Few years ago a guy did 50 launches consecutively in a 911 turbo S.

Here is the dealer employee post with an "opinion" the PDK will not hold up. His comment is just as valid 8 years later and the analogy excellent.

Macan Turbo Dyno Run

I was curious what our Macan would do, plus this works as a nice baseline for future mods. The Macan was so quiet, the dyno operator didn't need to use hearing protection. On the other hand, I also ran my Dodge Magnum SRT8 w/Vortech supercharger and catless Corsa exhaust (515 RWHP)... I needed...

Comparing a Compact Utility Vehicle to the flagship company product, a 911 Turbo is not only ridiculous but a false equivalence. The serious engineering goes into the flagship. Everything trickles down from the top. Engineering and new tech doesn't flow uphill. Isn't there another current thread on cutting corners for the Macan? Yeah, there is. Just because they can abuse a 911 Turbo does not mean you can do the same on the cheapest vehicle they sell to the masses.

Similarly are the Cayman owners who thought they could track there cars like GT3s only to find oil starvation destroyed their engines. One cost maybe $150K and the other $70K. You get what you pay for.

But everyone has opinions. We all rationalize at time. Here is the sticky on PDK failures, probably statistically few. Then again, how many people really abuse the PDK. Its got a soft limiter too.

Warning "Gearbox fault - Possible no R-gear. Drive...

Hello, The multi-function display in my Turbo displays the warning: Gearbox fault possible no R-gear Possible to drive on Working only 1-3-5-7 gear, the reverse gear does not function. Did anyone have the same 'adventure'? --- Unfortunately, my warranty was finished 2 months ago.

Excuse my ignorance but is the Audi S4 transmission identical with the Macan PDK?

Yes. The DL501 is used in a couple of Audi models....interesting that Audi doesn't use the DL501 anymore....only Porsche has continued to use it in the Macan. Audi has moved on, since about 2018, with a redesigned dual-clutch 7-speed transmission, designated the DL382. I am sure those will break too......

You’re correct about the 911 turbo S being different. The post you quoted discusses a modified car and the champion motor sport sells components to strengthen the PDK when somebody is adding horsepower to the car. He went on to say that he didn’t feel confident tuning an extra 50 to 100 hp to the Macan. I would agree with that too. I don’t agree with is the original post That if somebody does a launch in his 2.0 Macan that is PDK is going to break it may break if he does it every day but so will other pieces and parts if he drove the car abusively. If that were the case I would agree. I never thought the original poster was intending to abuse his car. He just wanted to find out the information and maybe give it a whirl.

The turbo I'm waiting for will have it but I doubt I'd ever use it. It can't be good for the car.

lol why would they put it as an option if it were bad for the car? You probably keep your cars 100% stock too
