Golf R mk7

[RobH]

Not sure ill check tomoz but would have thought 30 something mpg. Got a TMC box to go on until theres a stage 2 map out from Revo or GAIC so should be fun.

Exhaust is spot on but these cars are ALOT louder than the previous model. I have a full resonated system and its still louder than my Cupra with a non res decat system. Got a titanium one going on soon and ive asked for bigger silences its mad tbh. Sounds awesome round town but a bit long in the tooth on a run.

Not sure wether its the engine noise been played into the cabin that makes them so loud, could do with a vagcom expert disabling the soundaktor thingy if theres any takers?

You can disable the sound actuator yourself. There's a plug under the plastic scuttle panel that you can disconnect

I disconnected the soundaktor (temporarily) in my mk6 R and even with a non-res milltek, I thought the 4-pot sounded very plain jane.. I missed that emulated vr6 sound

Anyone got a photo of what I'm disconnecting under the scuttle panel? Cheers.

Not got a picture but this explains it. Got this off the Rforum

Just lift the bonnet, pop off the right hand bit of trim up by the wipers, unplug the grey plug right in the centre of the bottom of the windscreen which goes into the half visible round speaker type device and hey presto - done. I googled and found a guide, it's a really simple job.

Yeah sorted it mate dead easy actually

Is this likely to flag a soft vcds fault code?

Nothing shown up on my mk6 since I disconnected my 'soundaktor' 6 months ago
