What have you done to your Mk6 today then?

[RocketRossUK]

What happened to the rabbit, is it dead now. What was the bang?

[legg360]

The rabbit was still alive was sitting on the intake pipe, when I opened the bonnet we both just looked at each other before it turned ducked under the bonnet ran along the bottom of the windscreen before dissapering into the bushes.. What you mean by bang?

Oh that must have been fun.

I meant horrible noise, not bang, my fault.

Washed and waxed it, then finally got round to unplugging the soundaktor....I can now hear my turbo and dsg farts properly!

aha yea the noise started as a scratching noise prob the rabbit getting scared by the engine vibrating under it and it trying to run away.

Im quessing the padding is there and needed for heat protection the paint on the bonnet, hopefully with only a small amount damaged the paint should be ok until I can get hold of a new bit.

Its just a sound buffer - loads of people run it without mate - more intake noise

I looked for mine but couldn't find it - Is it on the normal GTI or just 35's

I did wonder if it was just sound deadening, but been told its there for heat protection... but if other people have had no problems without it, might just remove it and not replace.

I had a quick look where I think it is but couldn't find... prob looking in the wrong place

Yeah it is fitted to the gti but not 100% from what year on tbh...

The speaker module is located underneath the passenger side wiper motor, it's a small round black unit with a 2 pin plug connector on the back right hand side (looking from the front of the engine)
I found it much easier to see and unplug the unit after removing the black bolt in firewall section (1 x m6 bolt and 1 x m6 nut to remove), 10 min job tops to unplug and tape the plug up etc

Can these not be deactivated via VCDS like the Mk7 can?
