have been driving my all day, and i have tried everything to get it to do the popping at 4k, no matter what i do i can't get it to do it..is it just the DSG model that pops? i can get it to bang if i let off near red line, but no gargling pops

Your reply earlier where you mentioned it "pulled HARD" makes me shiver with excitement and now my patience is wearing thin.
It pops when you shift at redline? Gawd, just one more week

I've heard people say you can't hear it inside the cabin and others say after 1000 miles their manual started to burble.
Mine does it, saying that mines DSG, it needs to be warmed up to do it, it's from about 4K to 3k

You have it in Cupra mode too, right?
yeah drove it for 4 hours yesterday, so mine was definitely warmed up, just can't seem to hear it

if it doesn't do it after 1k miles, then it's not exactly like i can take it back to seat and say why isn't it popping 
So it looks like VWFS or the dealership have buggered the paperwork up with the excess mileage charge and it'll need to be redone, resigned and reapproved...so close. SO, so close...
(I'm not the only one either it seems!)

My father in law drove it, told him to give it some and the exhaust noise from the DSG change was so loud he said "sh** I've broken it" haha
On another note, food delivery lad came last night and was literally knocking a round of over the Cupra, he was chatting about it for a good 10 mins, love this car!

There's a video on youtube of someone revving a 290 manual in neutral. It's burbling away. So the 4k lift off will happen. Just give it a little time. The trade off is fair enough, I couldn't put up with the fart from a DSG. I'd be paranoid people were like "look at that twat of a boy racer in his 1.2 leon ecomotive with a stupid exhaust"

Agreed - it sounds a little like one of those fart you let out after a night on the sauce that you thought you could trust...but you couldn't...

Yep sounds just like a 1.2 mate

Guess you've got a DSG then.
You ever been walking along the road when a DSG farts right next to you? It sounds identical to a baked bean exhaust. Really not a sound I'm into.
Others obviously think they sound great.
Its not the best sound to be honest but I wouldn't say its like an exhaust you get on a 1.2 corsa,
I don't drive it like a tool anyway so it doesn't do the "fart" in places that people would walking right next to me.
I didn't get the DSG or the Cupra for the noise, I just like the Seat brand to be honest and the Cupra looks good, its the missus that uses it 95% of the time and it will be in comfort mode so not going to farting many places.
