Applicable Model/Year: 

  • MK7 GTI
  • MK7 Golf R
  • MK7.5 GTI
  • A7 Jetta GLI
  • Audi 8V S3


What is MQB?

MQB refers to a platform shared amoung many of the Volkswagen Auto Group (VAG) companies.

Modularer Querbaukasten (Modular Transverse Matrix)
The Transverse mounted front-wheel-drive or All-wheel-drive platform upon which multiple cars have been driven.  Among which COBB Offers support for:

  • MK7 GTI
  • MK7 Golf R
  • MK7.5 GTI
  • A7 Jetta GLI
  • Audi 8V S3
  • Audi 8V A3


How To Enable:

This feature is enabled on all OTS Maps

The vehicle will need to meet the following conditions for the ECU to allow it to happen.

  • Coolant Temp Min-Max (160F - 250F)
  • Engine Oil Min-Max (160F - 250F)
  • EGT MAX (1835F)
  • Steering Wheel Angle (within 20 degrees of being completely straight)


Steps to Use:

Golf R Will need to be set to "Dyno Mode" in order to disable the rear axle.  If enabled the car will essentially just launch itself with a higher RPM than launch control would otherwise allow.
