The joys of being a skoda master tech means I had the joyful experience of driving the 230 Vrs dsg. The part i was impressed with was the electronic diff with launch control and the subtle blip through the exhaust when changing gear.

Launch control with vcds?!

Am I correct in thinking that all VRS dsg have launch control?

Must be sweet with the extra help from that diff.

Doesnt all DSGs have it?

Im quite sure my 1.8tsi has it, never tried though.

You do Gromle. Sport mode + traction control off. Left foot on brake, rev up. Release the brake and off you go! Not tried either, it seems a bit drastic. I have seen YouTube videos testing 0-100 km/h: 6.8 sec with launch control.

Yes Vrs have it only the 6 speed dsg has it not 7 in some higher powered skodas. With it having electronic diff it makes all the difference.

Fatzy you missed engine has to be up to operating temp to work also.

Water or oil temp?

The 1.8 TSI combined with 4x4 have 280 Nm and therefore have the 6-speed DSG (and launch control).
