2020 gti se dsg no farts :)

[twistedmonkeydesigns@gmai]

Hello everyone. After a long separation from my 2012 I got a new 2020 gti se dsg today car is great better than the one I had before with tech stuff. I'm definitely not wowed with the dsg though. 6speed dsg and 7 speed dsg is way different. I definitely liked the old ones better .not much I can do at this point. I also realized there is zero fart sound from exsaust with upshifts. My older 2012 was great and had that distinctive fart sound. This one has zero. Anyone knows why? Is it because of the newer 7 speed dsg??

I will be getting a downpipie tune and exsaust in 6 months anyways but surprised there is zero sound from exsaust for a 2020

Not wowed with the DSG?

How dare you sir.

 

[twistedmonkeydesigns@gmai]

Lol I know me too I'm asking the same question. My opinion the older 6 speed dsg was much responsive .I think

Don't mind me I'm just fooling around.

Welcome to the forum.

Yeah the factory tuning on the MK6 DSGs was wayyyy better than the factory tuning on the MK7 DSGs, both 6 and 7-speed (250/381).

MK6’s KO3’s spooled instantly and legitimately gave you full torque by 2K RPM, and the DSG typically wouldn’t shift till 2.1-2.4K which isn’t the case with the IS20/MK7 DSG tuning.

And now with the DQ381/7-speed DSG, the programming makes it drive like a torque converter. Even weirder, I’m currently in a MK7 Jetta 1.4T/8-speed tq converter loner and the transmission shifts faster and is more responsive than the DQ381 on the 2019 GTI loaner I had last year.

I’ve gotta admit, I don’t love the styling but the Mk7 Jetta is an awesome value. I got 45 mpg computer calc’d (so let’s just say 40) on the ride home from the dealer going 75 in cruise essentially the whole time. My Alltrack with the 1.8 and 4Mo does 29-30 at 75, and the Jetta feels well-powered from the factory, being lighter and more nimble. 184 ft-lbs of torque between like 1200 and 4K RPM, and the transmission really didn’t suck for a slush box.

Also I just got rid of a 6.4 scatpack lol so I'm definitely missing some exsaust notes lol. But I love my new car handles like a champ no more v8s for me

To get your "fart" sounds, just pour some baked beans down into your gas tank.

Jokes aside I hope this condensation in the headlight goes away. They said because it's been sitting on the lot. Never seen or heard anything like this ever . Let's see if theyvare right

Just curious, what was the motivation to go from Scat Pack to GTI?

It’s normal. Every one of the 3 MK7’s I’ve had did this. It goes away

I missed the handling and fun part. Yes no doubt scatpack is a beast. Head Turner and definitely a killer on straight line. Zippiness of a small peppy car for me is more fun . Wish I found a r but there were none . Also myblease ended and the insane price I got before 356 month now they want 6gs down with 585 a month. No way I'm spending that much . That's insane .

I’ve had some hellaciously fast cars in my day, but I always seem to find myself back in a nimble little thing.

I would prefer a fast nimble little thing.
