i have just ordered my 2010 leon cupra and i see all this talk of spacers etc for the DV but as the dealer wouldnt let me "drive" the 08 test driver i could hear if there was a chirp on let off of the throttle.
So basically is there a blow off noise (no jokes) on gear change as standard??
thanks
I think he means drive it properly
So does that mean my cupra k1 has a spacer fitted by the previous owner as mine whooshes when changing gear.
Next question - if it has been added, does it have any negative effect on the car? Should I get it removed?
Going to Revo stage 1 in the summer so don't want any sound effect device spoiling my fun.
You get a slight gay noise from the DV yes as standard.
Take a picture of your engine bay, near the fans/ start of the engine cover and I will tell you if it has a spacer or not
And for what its worth I absolutely ripped the **** out of the k1 demo i drove. It worked as I put down a deposit as soon as I finished driving it!
Yep you have a spacer in their mate, explains the chirp .
Don't think they do any harm lots have them and I have ordered one for mine so they can't be bad. Sure its just purley sound effect. The question is does it sound good?
Showing my age but it sounds a bit like Ivor the Engine
Which is only properly noticeable when an aftermarket air intake has been fitted
Does it cause any problems to have one fitted or is it purely a sound effect?
purely sound effect. Try it with and without. Sounds the nuts with the spacer fitted and an air intake
