I think there was a thread somewhere in the B8 S4 forum on this. Replacing the mechatronics unit means you get the 0 count and can start launching again. Tech said Audi didnt warrant the part on the car he worked on.

I think his internal "counter" will be the same in the ecu. I bet since he hit the 200 mark, there is no doubt he will be TD1 and on the hook for any transmission work that may arise after the fact.

that's amazing some have hit the limit already. I haven't used it once in 10k miles yet, I don't know what my counter reads but if there is any on there, it was prob done by someone while getting serviced or valeted.

an update to all of this I am replacing my mechatronics unit, it will cost 3k all said and done but as I find the launch control to be the most important feature on my car it comes down to a "pay to play" situation.

Just curious. Will the new mechatronics unit provide unlimited launches or is it limited to another 200 uses? If the latter, math with the $3K cost of a new unit works out to $15 per launch.
