DSG 'fart' noise on FL mk3 Octavia vRS

[vrsage]

Hi everyone

 

I've searched this great forum but couldn't find anything recent on being able to get the renowned DSG fart sound from the new facelift Octavia vRS. 

 

Can anyone confirm if the facelift model has this from factory?

 

Or is there a tune/mod/exhaust that needs to be done?

 

Thanks!

Mine has it but, its a 245

Why do you want to make your car noisier? 

[stu83]

Mine has it too (VRS230).

 

Basically foot full down on a DSG change-up should do it. Mine happens pretty frequently now, not even on full throttle.

 

The pre FL 230 and 245 have a more vocal exhaust, so probably easier to hear.

In my experience, for best results the exhaust needs to be warm and more than half throttle, though my are amplified by having an aftermarket exhaust.

Are you blaming the car for your chronic flatulence? 

 

 And BTW my car even though it's a 2015 model, doesn't fart, even when there's an old fart in the driving seat.

Standard exhaust on the 220 pre facelift and 230 facelift models is very quiet and I haven't noticed DSG farts on mine from the inside. The 230 pre-facelift and 245 facelift models have a slightly louder exhaust which you can hear the DSG farts better with.

Doesn't the 245 have the same exhaust as the FL 169 kw?

They need to be Premium Beans,  Premium beans make you fart better and won't affect your warranty

Sad really that some seem to think that people on pavements, roads or just in their home or work are impressed by a car making noises as it accelerates away.

Pretty pre crapping noises as it is, farty type noises.

Were you never "boyish"

 

Childish & simple it maybe but, that doesn't stop it being fun !

Did we not all put bits of drink cartons on our bikes to make a noise with them hitting the spokes?

I was and am a Boy Racer / Grumpy Grandpa Racer, but then the last thing you might want to do when nipping on is draw attention to yourself, or annoy neighbours and others on your daily driving route or have all the noises and not that much going on speed wise,  ie Corsa's and Big Bore Exhausts, or Octavias and not much go go!

 

Just jesting on the farty sounds, we know fart cushions were and still are funny what ever your age.

Don't know about the spokes thing, but on my Fs1E50 I use to take the baffles out.

Problem was I lost the small screw that kept them in and when the police insisted I keep them in, they kept falling out. GF ran back down the road once to collect them and before I could warn her she badly burnt her hand picking them up. She was a sport, she had already fallen off the back that day when I set off too fast from traffic lights and burnt her ankle on the exhaust when she got back on. What ever happened to birds that don't moan about things........

Edit - just remembered............. you marry them and they start moaning about the tiny things...

Surely every kid pegged playing cards onto your bike frame and into the wheel spokes?

Wouldn't have been much point when I rods pedal bikes - I was mostly on the back wheel (or on the ground having fallen off trying to stay on the back wheel)

I had them front and back and both sides. I swear it sounded like a V8!

The FL 230 definitely farts. Just give it loads of beans in sport mode and change up using paddles slightly early before it just it automatically.

[vrsage]

How much beans are we talking?

 

Is there a certain way or thing I need to do whilst shifting using the paddles?

 

[Rooted]

Can you not just go drive the car on a nice stretch of empty road or a tunnel and try and see you if get the farts?

Maybe make a complaint in writing to Duncan Movassaghi if you are fartless & have been short changed or sold a duck that can not quack.

Press the VRS button, put the gearbox in S mode. Drive the car up to 5-6k rpm with full throttle and use the paddle to change gear once it will fast.

Went out in a facelift Golf R this afternoon which had very audible DSG farts, but the stock exhaust is also noticeably louder even at idle. I want a louder exhaust now I think....
