A45 Launch Control

[hab1966]

Is there a log of how many times this has been used?

In the handbook, are there any disclaimers as to how often it can be used?

No guidelines on lc in the A45. It will cease function if the clutch gets too hot though or if its used more than 3 times on the bounce.

[hab1966]

Do you know whether the ECU can be interogated to see how many times its been used?

I'm contemplating buying a demo car and would like to make sure that its not been LC thrashed. As i presume the clutch isn't a warranty item.

[ecain63]

It can be read but there are no rules other than the above. If the clutch went early then im sure you'd have no issues getting it covered.

I hope you're getting a good price on the demo. I looked at one and the discount was negligible. It was cheaper to buy new from drivethedeal.com
