TUTORIAL: How to use launch control in a W204 C class mercedes

[@kornelk9824]

It’s more like manual lunch control. Biggest difference is that in this case probably gearbox will be demanded soon😢

[@alekzandersamboy6551]

So don’t do it right?

[@hotsauce4960]

@@alekzandersamboy6551probably shouldn’t do it

[@w204nick]

not at all, i’ve done this plenty of times and i’ve had 0 issues

[@ajtoofly7315]

I think you should experience these cars first before you make that type of claim my friend

[@FutureKLX300SMowner]

That’s just brake boosting which you can do in any car. Launch control is completely different. Go find a c63 w204 launch control video.

[@w204nick]

didn’t know it was possible to break boost an NA car

[@lukesalvo5066]

Okay you go in an automatic put ur foot on the brake and press the gas foot to the floor and see what happens

[@Yesssrudeboi]

Do your research well . Is not in Anycar is not standard

[@aloha_im_harshh]

@@w204nick LMAO it's not NA car. It's turbocharged. Look it up. It's a 1.8 litre engine turbocharged, or to make things more obvious, cant you hear the turbo's spooling up at the end of the video ?

[@madoba8717]

@@aloha_im_harshhit’s probably a c300/350. But you still can’t launch control in those either.

[@joshuaJosephjr]

Thats brake boost, which is not recommended in a daily driven

[@matthiasschneider1903]

That’s not launch control. Lauch control would actually hold the rpm’s for you. Also the “hold” function is so you can let go of the brake pedal when stopped at a red light or traffic jam and don’t want to hold your foot on the brake pedal the whole time. It will turn off as soon as you press the accelerator pedal. Lol

[@Sage0805]

Yo what exhaust do you use?

[@RothBeyondTheGrave]

There's no launch control in non AMG's. Certainly not 204's. Oddly enough, I have noticed anytime I use HOLD feature at a red light in my E coupe, as soon as I apply throttle to go again, there is FAR more torque than if I had simply not used HOLD & held the brake pedal like normal. Not sure why, still haven't truly looked into what HOLD really does (electronically tells the trans it's in park?) Others have mentioned brake boosting, but I understand you have the N/A 3.5L M276. The turbocharged M276's are not in 2014 w204 C350's. Likely all you're doing is getting rpm's to the sweet spot of max torque, which is around 2,500ish & you're feeling that from a standstill. Still feels good, but not launch control.

[@w204nick]

hit it right on the nail! yeah no launch control “officially “ it’s like a secret way to launch but not actually a launch control

[@w204nick]

yeah i’m pretty sure it’s so you can hold the trans electronically

[@sbuzaca1243]

It work c180 compressor w204 2010 model ?

[@thecrazyy2O4]

101 k miles holy ur trans flexing gears when u shift my boi car shield

[@dailyentertainmenthd4717]

That is not lauch control. You still haven't turned traction control all the way off. Plus if the launch control is active it should say "Race Start" on the guage cluster screen

[@w204nick]

not a c63 won’t say race start

[@dahouligan1148]

@@w204nickso you do realize that you don’t have launch control 😂😂

[@xandyalc]

dont you have to restart the car whenever you switch from comfort to sports mode? i read in the manual that for the change in driving modes to occur, the engine needs to be restarted. it might just be that its only in older w204s tho (09)

[@xandyalc]

the sport mode comes up on the dash in my car, but the car actually stays in comfort (or eco) until i restart the car

[@ozymandias7940]

​@xandyalc I have a 2013 W204 C250 and there is no need to restart the engine. It switches instantly between econ/sport modes. Unfortunately, if you leave it in 'S' mode, the transmission (7-speed) will hold in 6th gear. To select 7th you need to put it back in 'E'.

[@rubenelmit1646]

So when I’m sport mode does it become rear wheel drive?

[@w204nick]

if it’s an 4 matic model no. it stays in 4 matic all the time

[@FanSimba0]

why is this car better?

This ain’t a real launch it’s something that can be done in any car,plus these cars ain’t for launching there cruisers

[@w204nick]

thanks for telling me how to drive my car !

[@megatron3]

Why yall hatting on this dude so much? I hope yall make a video. These are great cars overall though. If they had of put manual on these and added about a half a liter these things would have been something to tangle with.

[@DanDuffy071]

Earlier 300s did come in a manual and 2013-14 models were 3.5 so not sure where the “if” comes from lol 🤣

why not both? this is ONE of my cars

[@chrismovienight]

That's very most not needed

[@ozymandias7940]

Pmsl.... Launch control? Clearly, you know f-all about Mercedes and have never been in a vehicle with actual launch control, like a C63. The 'hold' function has nothing to do with launching anything! It is simply a safety feature that allows you to take your foot off the brake pedal and will prevent the vehicle rolling. It is deactivated once you touch the accelerator pedal.

[@salvadorlopezlugo3562]

Those hairy legs are frightening

[@Bang_n_slang]

Not really launch control.

[@w204nick]

more of a soft launch control lol

this bumper is so ridiculous

[@stubuchanan5129]

Why is it

[@w204nick]

the stock bumper that comes on the car ?

[@willysir8836]

@@w204nick seems that you don't know your car. This rear bumper is not completely original because you don't have those big diffusers (ridiculous IMO) in stock version, neither 4 pipes (only c 43 c63). By the way, these 4 pipes are not well set up, probably because of aftermarket. Even the c63s, edition 507 don't have such diffuser. Only the Black series have a different bumper. you're welcome.
