Scirocco R Engine sound comes and goes

Post by Dylan8295 »

Problem : when accelerating the sound of the car goes from sounding like a 2 litre to a 1.2 every half second on and off, sometimes it will sound perfect, sometimes it will constantly sound like a 1.2 but most of the time it is blipping on and off when accelerating, it sounds like there is no exhaust and then there is, every half second on and off and on and off when accelerating. I don’t feel like it is loosing power at all but the sound coming and going can be heard over the radio..

Dec 2015 Scirocco R, absolutely no faults on computer except for exhaust flap which has been modded to stay open to see if that was the problem, it isnt.

Mechanics can’t find the problem also.. could spend a fortune on changing different things but anyone any ideas?
