My Arteon developed a squeak on start up and at low speeds. Turns out the exhaust flaps (the ones on the outer pipes on both sides) were squeaking. From what I can tell the flaps open and close based on speed, throttle and the mode you are in to make the exhaust more quiet.
I've used VCDS to disable the flaps and have them always open.
This didn't cause any errors but there is a slight drone on idle and between 0 - 2k RPM. The drone isn't completely bad but it is different.
Could I have lubed up the flaps? Yeah but it's not my style, I like to raw.
