Bought a car yesturday 2008 a3 sportback S-Line 1.8t FSI with just 28k miles.
It seems to have an exhaust valve, as far as I knew only S3's have this?
Has anyone else found an exhaust valve like this or similar experience?
Is it easy to make it open all the time if there is a valve/flap?

myself in another topic said:If I use my S-tronic to go between P or N and then D or R or S the exhaust note changes to a deep louder boomy noise, but the rev's don't change at all. Also when I drive this noise goes away then comes back near 2.8k RPM, and if I drive it say in 3rd at 3k then paddle up to 4th I hear a metallic clunk noise near the back of the car and the exhaust goes quiet again. I am pretty sure there is a flap but can't get under the car to have a look. Ideally I would want to delete the flap/valve as I like the noise all the time!
