As the title says anyone know what causes the noise when up shifting with dsg in a gti or R?
I read somewhere that it was the turbo overrun and was added by the VW engineers during testing as a joke. The bosses liked it and so it stayed.
From what I've read it's only the GTIs and Rs that make the sound in stock format which supports the theory it's a deliberate feature
Guess that is more of an urban legend. The car switches off ignition for a split of a second! In between gear changes! That when it comes back produces the pop with the fast changes.
Same behavior with quick shifters on modern bikes!
