Launch control problem
hey guys, I have a 2012 Audi A5 2.0TFSI. I used to launch control my car quite a lot, and just recently, I tried doing it and the car wasn’t launching. I gave it some time thinkingmaybe it just needs time, but no it’s stopped launching. Anyone knows why? Can I fix it?

You seem to be located in the UK, so I assume you have the S-ironic. You can only launch up to 200 times. The transmission maintains a launch counter and once it reaches 200, the fun is over. Transmission is worn to the point where launches will no longer be permitted in order for it to last. The only way to get a fresh 200 is to replace the mechatronic and clutch packs.

Moa, you can read your launch control count using the Carista device and verify SS's theory of reaching 200.
As an aside, to the many car "shoppers" on this forum looking for advice on specific vehicles under consideration, read the launch count to determine the car's past "usage". I didn't know about this when purchasing my S5, but was happy to learn it had 0 launches logged....it still only has 2.
