Originally posted by andrew7 View PostThanks Jon for your input. Agree the aftermarket DP is the solution. I'm wrestling then with the need to tune the ECU to adjust for the aftermarket DP and consequent effect on drivetrain warranty. Unfortunately down Melbourne way there doesn't appear to be a mob such as Sydney's Hills Eurohaus offering the (comparative safety of) JB1 with DP option. Major option for me is a reputable/recommended workshop who offer the Revo Stage 2 tune and CTS DP, so think I'm about ready to pay them a visit

I've made a recording of the sound which you can listen to here https://youtu.be/_qJMqmYhWUI
The noise is there all the time however in the recording becomes more apparent at 8 seconds when the engine settles to idle, then again more loudly at 24 seconds as the car starts to drive away.
The recording was made outside the car however the noise is apparent on the interior at all times.
My car is coming up to 12 months old and I have to say the noise is the same if not worse, and unfortunately impossible to ignore!

Originally posted by andrew7 View PostYep, that's exactly the metallic ringing noise I had on my Wolfsburg Hatch. I decided to sell it for a number of reasons but that ringing was the main factor. Unfortunately, I have read on the odd occasion replacing the DP does not fix it (though this appears to be a minority of cases and all on this thread who have replaced the EOM DP report relief)). I was not prepared to mod in the end without 100% certainty hence the sale.RS

Sold the Wolfie for a number of reasons: mistake in choosing the Lapiz Blue (too hard to keep clean, constantly getting marks on it) with the black wheels- too loud and showy, had a faulty Nav unit (freezing black screen etc) and the dreaded rattle. Have just ordered the Facelift S3 in Glacier White for an altogether classier experience 😜 Bonus is its gets the upgraded 7 speed wet DSG unit from the RS3 and the lovely Virtual Cockpit as standard (and hopefully no 'bonus' rattle!)
