Slight Flutter in Turbo Golf R

[Angryman]

Thought I'd post this here since every other Golf R thread is in here... Just noticed this morning coming back form the gym that sometimes when I take my foot off the accelerator in D (DSG) that there is a slight flutter sound coming from the motor. Almost like one of those nasty after market BOV's you hear on the grey import rice mobiles.

Not throwing any errors up and the car drives beautifully, I haven't noticed any loss of power. Its about 35 degrees up here and 85% humidity if that makes any difference.

Has anyone else noticed similar? I can't reproduce it at will, its quite intermittent and the car hasn't been under heavy load either time its done it.

It's a goddamn turbo charged car, it's going to make those noises. It's normal.

It's your diverter valve and there is a damn good reason it makes that noise.

Either live with it or get rid of the turbo

Hey mate. It's quite normal. All Golf R's do it.
It does it after you take your foot off the accelerator EVERY time, in all modes of the DSG (D, S, M). It's just that the volume of it differs and can be hidden by other noise (road noise, exhaust noise etc). It's normal.

It's been discussed previously in one of the other Golf R threads...

Yep, i know exactly what you mean, i have certainly noticed it a number of times, as you say it seems to be quite intermittent but seems to be most prominent for me at lower speeds.
It may be the boy racer in me but i like the noise..

I purposely drive with the windows down and push slightly harder to get the little diverter valve open. I think it is awesome fun to have it. It is not ricey at all as it is not an obnoxious release of pressure.

I'm up in Cairns next Tuesday and would be glad to have a look. Just leave it with me for the day, and I'll do my utmost to diagnose it, all day long. Just the kind of guy I am.

You can also hear it if you change from D into N while rolling

My s3 with a intake will flutter up to about 5 seconds some times when i change gear, i will have to take a video and post it up

OMG... why do people keep on trying to brake their DSGs?
That's the 2nd post I've seen today of people talking about coasting in N !

I was just about to say the same thing?!?!?!?! Why the f%@& would you do it????

Coz it does mad skids? I once accidentally put a VT Berlina into reverse while driving at 80km/h. The noises were horrible, you'd think it shouldn't happen but knowing holden, the feature that prevented it had probably already failed

On the topic of the whistles, I've noticed (probably post stage 1) from 3000 to just before 4000 there is a pronounced whistle, doesn't sound like normal turbo/induction noises, actually sounds like a referees whistle hehe.
