RE: "S" and "W" Switches
I have them on mine (1998, 2.0T CD), and as mentioned they refer to "S"port and "W"inter. Sport mode will rev higher, and change later, and give a more aggressive kick-down when you hit the throttle hard. In Winter mode the gearbox will change earlier, minimising sharp torque increases to the wheels which would otherwise cause wheel spin - it will also pull away from standstill in 2nd gear, rather than 1st.
HOWEVER, in my car, I refer to them as Standard and W*nk :) |
