Burble on upchange without a DSG?

[Kesh]

Hey guys, was just watching a few videos on youtube of Passats and saw that some of them seem to have that signature DSG burble when they change gear, however these seem to be the tiptronic or torque converter autos. Can anyone confirm whether it's possible? Sounds pretty nice haha

Gear changes sound too slow to be auto or DSG in my opinion.

You reckon?

The same guy has this video of an in car run. Description says Tiptronic.

Yeah Tiptronic is just a conventional auto box. We have it here in the 2L FSI non-turbo B6 Passats. Everything else was a DSG.

Mods for that car seem to be: Revo Stage 1, ATP Intake, Catless Downpipe, Resonator delete, Godspeed Intercooler, BSH Oil Catch Can (PCV Fix).

Confirming it's an auto of some description based on the reflection in the window.
I've noticed some of the golfs do this as well. One of the reasons I snapped up a vw DSG thinking I'd get that (as op says sounds cool) but I haven't noticed it. Having said that, it wasn't noticeable in the in-car run compared to out of the car so maybe I do get it...I'll pretend I do

It's engine mapping related.

Maybe a resonator or muffler delete will make it more pronounced haha. Otherwise, stage 1 APR it is!

I'm looking into buying either the 2.0t with the conventional auto or a 3.2 dsg... Not too sure which to go for. The 2.0t has done 120k, most service history at vw, timing belt done. The v6, 80k, full service history at vw I believe. 2.0t 8.5k v6 12k

The 3.2 VR6 and DSG are less likely to cause you grief.

Plus they sound awesome when the exhaust is freed up a bit.

You reckon the dsg will cause less grief than the standard auto on the 2.0t? That's my only worry to be honest. I've heard of some issues with the fuel pumps on the 2.0t though.

Time will tell I suppose.

I have passat wagon 2.0 running tiptronic gearbox and running stage 2 apr goes hard get the burble when gear change.

Haha that's awesome! Hoping to get one sometime before the end of the year.

What you say about the exhaust on a 3.2L is both interesting and encouraging. My only experience listening to modified exhausts is via YouTube clips. Not the most reliable way of hearing it accurately!

On the YouTube clips I've listened to, the R36 3.6L engine with a modified exhaust sounds deep and throaty suggesting lots of power. The 3.2L sounds higher-pitched and a bit thin and raspy. To me it sounds like a smaller car such as a Golf and I was wondering if it would sound out of place on the larger Passat. For example:

From experience, they sound pretty much the same, straight out the join in the centre section

Perhaps keep an eye out for someone offloading a stock R36 exhaust system.
