Probably another stupid question, but.....

 

I have a 92 import 2+2 TT, with an autobox. There is a three position rocker switch infront of the lever, labeled Hold, and Power. Power is pretty obvious (I guess?!), but what does the Hold do?

 

Someone told me that the box "learns" how you drive and adjusts accordingly. Is this true? How do you set it for optimum?

 

Are there any good mods and what are they for an auto box? (I noticed the previous posts about the rebuilt auto and its got me wondering...!)

 

Hold will force the box to maintain the current gear, embarrasing if your trying to race someone off the traffic lights and you inadvertently switch to this - Trust me :)

 

Hold doesn't do that on mine !

 

'Hold' holds the revs down - it won't allow first at all and changes gear very early. It's meant for limiting power in slippery conditions. Or for if you let your girlfriend drive your car

Cheers Guys,

 

I though it was one of the two possibilities! I think mine does the same as Dave`s now that I have tried it out.

 

So does mine now that I've actually watched what it was doing, the previous time I was in a panic as I appeared to be getting my ass whooped by a golf GTI (ooh the embarassment :) ), didn't last long though when I realized I was in HOLD.

Is this button specific to Jap imports as it doesn't show up in the uk supplied handbook I purchased for my import.
