Thanks for the info as well k3v! Is it easy to get this Gummi thing? I googled it and it returned a lot of overseas sites. Planning to join u all this Wednesday TT to learn more from the sifus as well biggrin.gif Can pinjam some of the gummi to try it out?

Also the link you gave earlier was really handy! According to the TSB, there are actually pads that VW need to also put into the pillars to prevent the wind noise. Anyone you know actually manage to get VW to add in those additional pads to reduce the wind noise?

i think we need to get the local VW SCs here to acknowledge the problem first and fix it without any cost to us

Can la.... I asked them to do it before that was when it was still VW cars.

The guy who did it for me is now in jln 222 FA Wagen. His name is Vicky. During your first service, tell them that you have wind noise. They will adjust the doors again.... or so he says he adjusted la...

Alternatively, go modify your exhaust.... remove resonator.... you will never notice the wind noise again! hahahahhaha

They will install new B-Pillar" pads on the drivers and passenger side front doors.


Now I really do hope that our local VW service would do this for the cars here.

Are you sure its the suspension or your rubber lining at the door when you cross the bump and your car flex (natural)....

If it is what I think it is.....this is already a highlighted problem in VGCM forum... where the flexing of the car creates a rubber movement sound which is inside the car....

Here's the thread in VGCM:

Recommended 5w-40.

why 30? Using Castrol 40, you may have to top up your engine oil already at 5000km. Check your oils every 5000 km if you drive it hard.

Keep 1 litre spare in the trunk.

And in case you are wondering.... W is not weight. W is weather. .. 30,40,50 is viscosity... I got hook-winked in buying 0w-40 sports edge once because someone told me its W is weight and the lighter engine oil gives you better power.... blah blah blah... felt stupid when I got home and my little engineer bro laugh kok at me.

Depends what you want....

Power

Change the whole Turbo Back Ext (TBE). Bigger pipe size, more power but less torque and vice versa. If you are going for stage 2 map, you need to change TBE to 3" to maximize your output. If you keep it at 2.5", you get enormous torque and problem lower HP

In general, the less restriction the best for Turbo cars cause you don't need back pressure like the NA cars and some goes to the extend of de-cat.


Some grunt and looks

Change the Cat Back Ext (CBE).... didn't really measure the performance gain but heard someone saying change CBE can get better power.... maybe stock flow is not good? Don't know... havent seen any data that backs it other than butt-dyno.

This is long story cut short la....but always decide what you want before you do this.... ext mod can be very cumbersome, today you may like a bit more sound, tomorrow you may find travelling at 160km/h with droning cabin driving you nuts - mine went from loud, to soft and loud again and back to soft! LOL and its not something you can put it into a forum thread because its really very subjective.
