Okay, update... I had my buddy record a cold start from startup to the point where the RPMs dropped to standard idle on Sunday morning. I also did a few revs which I will try my best to match with length and RPM.
I did the Cerma treatment in my car this morning. I did 2500 RPM idle for a few minutes then immediately drove 60 miles. I did about 45 highway miles and the rest was varied driving on back roads partially into the Santa Cruz Mountains, so a bit of uphill and a bit of aggressive downhill. We plan to re-record again this Saturday or Sunday. Ambient temperature and time of day should be the same. We have pretty ridiculously steady weather around here this time of year.
I won't be driving a whole lot more this week just because my company has us all working from home here in Silicon Valley.
I do I want to say that I noticed it is quieter, but I will wait for the science to tell us if it actually is or not!
I will post a new thread outlining the findings with photos/recordings etc.
I'm going to toss it into my wife's 2015 TSI tomorrow morning and do the same ride in that too.
Edit: Sneak peek...
