Bit of an update in my thread too.... Emm I reckon you're right about a period of re-learning/adaptation.

Bit of an update - I've been driving the car now for a few hundred miles and the popping has gradually come back.... I am pretty sure I'm not going mad - it was quiet as a mouse. Now if I downshift at 4800rpm or lift off a gentle throttle at lower revs, the sound is back. In the other thread about E...

Thanks Mike... I guess that's not the same issue. Mine is definitely in dynamic mode for the sound.

I didn't try to decline it but that doesn't come as a surprise. Equally if it's best for the longevity of the car then that's great, but I miss the character already.

M - thanks, as you say that would be very disappointing to hear if it were true.
I heard back that the update is to prevent damage to the o-rings in the coolant line for the turbo.... No more info yet.

Yup

Thanks Pez - I have sent a mail to the service guy to ask if he knows what the update does, and to tell him about the change... Otherwise I guess I have to have it remapped to restore it?!

Hi M I think I've got the same experience - not sure about a performance impact (mine still feels fast) but the character of the exhaust note (with pops and bangs on the downchanges, etc) has gone completely.

Hi all. Just got the car back from the dealer where they replaced the DRC under warranty. The suspension is fixed but in the process they mentioned a software update they'd applied (although no further info). Now it's clear that the exhaust sound has changed. I enjoyed the daft noises the car made i...

Nice - Thanks Chris. Not long for me to wait to find out, now

Thanks chris - had a few beers the other night and ordered the Akra - so no need for the demo! Thanks for the offer! Cheers

Before i risk dropping a pile of cash on an Akrapovic cat-back, is there anyone here who has one already, where I can hear it for real? I'm not convinced YouTube clips help.

Beers on me! I'm near Northampton if anyone is nearby.

Cheers
Andy

Cheers. I wasn't sure on the colour at first... it's growing on me

Ha ha... I had 300 quid on AJ to win tonight at 7/4 so that's this year's road tax sorted

It's already been an eventful weekend... I didn't expect or plan this, but these things happen! Today it's bye-bye to my second RS4 which has been flawless, and amazing at stuff like: Carrying loads of stuff https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/585/32404570514_5c9313031e_c.jpg Getting filthy https://c2.sta...
