I'm at 5,500 miles - will more noise be on the way?

[bradders1979]

Car is a facelift saloon. Plenty of farts, but no pops/bangs. Unmodified.

Should it come to life soon?

Wouldn't think so mate l am on 7k miles now and it sounds pretty good mpg has improved though ye should get a res delete if you want more boy racer noise lol

I was thinking in getting the resonator delete but i have a years warranty would the res delete affect my warranty

Would void the warranty on the exhaust yeah which personally, I didn't care about. Not that I have a clue what can go wrong with an exhaust.. but its the engine/gearbox stuff to worry about more so.

I'm OK with the sound, just not getting the 'pops and bangs' that others on here have mentioned. Sounds better with the pano roof down

It's inconsistent on my car but the weather can play a part in how the engine sounds.... Colder weather = it should sound better

Maybe worth unplugging your exhaust valves!

Past few mornings when it's been 13c have made the car sound better for the first few mins compared to the 20c mornings recently !

Does having the roof open make much difference? Compared to opening the windows or well it being shut. Problem is with windows at speed is you get the wind noise but I guess with the roof less so?
It's the one thing I want on mine

Does everyone know once you cylce the ignition ie switch off and go to bed and the next day you start up you need to cycle the switch I click mine 6 times to go out of dynamic and back in it says your in dynamic from the night before but if you don't cycle out and back in the pops n bangs valves ect aint there??

Wouldn't expect you to get many more mate, I'm at 16k miles. I'm getting a BCS Res delete next Friday, should get what you're after with that.

Yes it does - as you say there is too much wind noise with the window down. The Audi garage made sure I had the roof open on the test drive

This - you have to reset back to Dynamic (or your Individual setting) each time you start the car. On each start up the engine mode defaults to 'Auto' even if your dash says Dynamic.

in Auto your exhaust note will be off unless you have the Stronic in 'S'

Mine pops and crackles literally all the time on lift off, as long as the revs are over 2k

 

[keenu]

For me the crackles on the downshift only happen in Dynamic rather than just S on the gearbox. The bangs you have to rev the car a little hard and to get more noise from them.

Is your car modified in any way, also what is your mileage? I'm driving around in Dynamic, gearbox in S, cycled through modes & just getting the DSG fart

More like on/over 3k revs mate

No bog standard - 5200 miles give or take

I need to be at around 4k or just below and let off for decent pops n an od bang same as dropping a gear to hit 4 k on the gear below for max snap crackle n pop

The only thing I don’t like is when you shift down and the exhaust doesn’t make any pops or bangs as you look like a wally who can’t change gears

... Which is where I am right now!

When you have a yellow car you kinda fit right in
