IS F (2008-2014) :: Burble Noises Out Of Exhaust
I shift at certain rpms from 1st-2nd just to hear the burble / popping out of the exhaust.. I hold it around 3k and the shift and let off the gas and it's a Orchestra of amazing noises that are Oh so addicting. Secondly, are there any negatives to doing this? Or that sometimes I hear the loud thud / pop when slowing down but not everytime . What is the true cause of these glorious noises.

So I just wanted to ask 2 things.. Am I the only person who purposely shifts at certain rpms from 1st-2nd just to hear the burble/popping out of the exhaust.. I hold it around 3k and the shift and let off the gas and it's a Orchestra of amazing noises that are Oh so addicting. Secondly, are there any negatives to doing this... Or that sometimes I hear the loud thud/pop when slowing down but not every time... What is the true cause of these glorious noises.

I thought the air will be flushed out from the heater core over time. Heater works ok, but can hear a sloshing sound.
Does pressing the rubber heater hoses going to the firewall? Other methods? Take coolant tank cap off once in a while?
Accent RB (2012+) :: Transmission Often Shifts At Very Low RPMs And CAI Makes Loud Burble
I installed the TurboKits CAI kit a few weeks ago. Installation went smoothly, and the latest kit has a modification to the box that fits our Accent's air snorkel. On cars with automatic transmissions, I had to cut out a notch from the bottom of the box to clear the transmission, but I doubt that this affects the air flow to the filter.
However, I have a big problem with the sound. The transmission often shifts at very low RPMs, and the CAI makes a very loud burble when this occurs. If I shift into a lower gear using the semi-manual mode, then the sound goes away. I realize that CAIs make a louder sound when you put your foot into it, but I find the sound a little over-the-top (especially considering that when the sound comes on, the engine is producing very little power at this part of the power band).
So, it's not really a problem with the CAI itself, more with the car's TCU. Unfortunately, it's too annoying for me, so I'll be reverting back to the original air intake system, and selling the TurboKits CAI.

View 6 RepliesGolf V R32 :: Car Sounded Better After Flapper Exhaust Mod
I did the flapper mod on the exhaust... pulled the hole out, put a screw in at the end of the hose and then capped off the inlet where the hose would plug into. So have doing that I honestly could not tell a difference. The car sounded amazing when turned on after sitting awhile b/c it was idling just above 1K before it went below and sounded normal.
Also, having my car next to a MK4 R32 with the flapper, the Mk4 sounded much better and louder with the same mod done to stock systems. It is very simple and to the point and with not really hearing much of a difference with it done and then a MK4 sounding 10x better got me thinking and I wanted to ask
Golf V R32 :: Stock Exhaust Malfunction
Not sure if this is inherent to the exhaust setup on the R32, but had I noticed quite a bit of carbon build up on the driver's side tip versus the passenger side tip which was nearly clean.
This morning, I had it idling to warm up and with the exhaust vapor visible, there seemed to be about 3 times as much coming from the driver's side. Is this normal or should I get it checked out? I know that it's not gonna be exactly even, but it's exhausting probably 75% from one side...

View 5 RepliesGolf V R32 :: Exhaust Rattle Only When Driving
I just got my R last Monday and have noticed a weird rattle coming from the exhaust. It only happens when I am driving. I can rev the engine when parked and the car sounds great. The rattle seems to happen when the car shifts and seems to happen less often if I've been driving for a little while. I did take it to VW they put it on a lift and checked everything underneath. I was told it might just go away but if not to come back and they will further check it out. What it might be?
View 24 RepliesGolf V R32 :: Exhaust Leak - DSG Rattle?
I did some searching and found someone with the same dsg rattle chatter noise I am getting from my R (check link below)
My R has 102,000 miles, runs excellent but the dsg makes a noise mostly when I am in gear stopped with my foot on the brake. While I was under the car checking out the chatter noise I noticed a faint exhaust leak somewhere in the headers near the flex pipe. I want to fix it and I plan to put on a cat back exhaust very soon but I really don't want to spend the money on a set of headers.

I've got an awd 1.8t and ever since I did my 3" downpipe and cat delete I've had an oil smell both inside my car and from my exhaust. I thought at first maybe it was the valve cover gasket which I did last summer, but it looks to be fine. Also it does smoke out of my exhaust sometimes, but a buddy told me if it was my turbo seals my oil level would reflect the seals being gone, which the oil level hasn't moved. What else could it be? Do I just need to put a cat backin?
View 5 RepliesGolf IV R32 :: Exhaust Gurgle A Bit Then EPC Light Comes On And Car Died?
This is the 3rd time this has happened to me in the past week. As I am cruising I start to hear my exhaust gurgle a bit then the EPC light comes on and the tach starts bouncing around although the revs of the motor don't seem to match it. Then the car dies on me. If I give the car like 5 minutes I can start it up again otherwise it just cranks and cranks and will not fire. But today it did it again after I was able to start the car. I did some research but no one really had the same issue I have. One person said the EPC comes on if a sensor is bad/going bad. I was thinking it could be the engine speed sensor since the tach was bouncing around, but not sure. I don't have a VAG but can probably get a local to scan the car for me.
