we thought it was due to gearbox but sadly neither of the new GTI's did it performance or non performance. Seems VW has just got rid of it.

Do you think my 17 DSG farter will be updated to no farts come service time?

This is interesting as when I test drove a 7.5 with PP and DSG7  when the facelift first launched it did DSG fart on the test drive. Wonder when the switch over

I have a late 2017 GTI standard and think it farts but tell me what exactly I should be listening for. When I put my car in Sport and give it some revs it does give a puff between gears. Is that what I am expecting or something louder.

It should sound like this:

Watch until end and you’ll hear the farts clearly.

Hello good morning!
So, if it only affects new models with DSG7 gearbox, is the golf R model not affected? Because watching videos of the new Golf R the farts it releases through the exhaust are very strong.  regards!

I have talk to one of the best tuners in Sweden, that have made new software to the 7,5 PP  and the DQ381 DSG.  :smiley:

And it is NOTHING to do with the new DQ381!

Is is all in the software to the Engine!

VW have big problem with warrenty on Catalyst that the DSG farts cause  :sad:. So they have talken away the "farts" on the PP to Save the 2 Catalyst that is standard on the PP nowdays...  :huh:
Hello Wide!
I just hope that through software they can offer us the opportunity to hear those farts again....because this week they give me the GTI7.5 PP and this news has disappointed me a little...
The last point you made I don't understand, you mean, VW has problems with farts in the GTI and that with this catalyst in the PP they fix it? Regards!!

Correct 7.5 Golf R with 7DSG STILL makes DSG farts
