Exhaust flaps & noise

[aidanjaye]

aidanjaye, Timster is correct, it has to be the normal idle speed for the S button to open the valves.

However, there is a noise, a bit like a repetitive clicking which someone says is unburnt fuel related, I have checked my exhaust flaps when it does this and they are closed still

Eemm, stand corrected then - will have a look was I can find the car under all the snow.

Yep, your right - and another little thing that I now know about the car...I suppose thats what forums like this are for.

I thought it might be usefull for people to know that the RS4 requires vacuum to close the exhaust valves.

Ie no vacuum the valves are open, hence if you disconnect the tubes to the valve, the valves remain open all the time
