Exhaust click!

[Richard Appleyard]

Hi all. Just want some advise.

My S3 has got a standard exhaust and is making a clicking noise when on/off the accelerator. I've searched for the flap mod and not got the answer I'm looking for.
I want to stop it clicking so will attempt to blank the pipe so, in doing this will the valve be stuck in the open or closed position?

Thanks

You should get one throttle body but don t sure in s3. However in 3.0 tdi-s was the hole near exhaust mainfold. Will look for vids l8ta.
