[@gtsdude1053]

You can go without DSG-Farts, but it is something the customer of "sporty" cars want. It is an additional function of the engine ECU, just like the farts you hear when you lift your foot off the throttle. Here, a more or less random pattern is used to inject some gas which is not ignited by the spark plugs. So not mandatory, just for the sounds.

[@CsillagszemuCsjuhasz]

So what you say is we can have the same effect by cutting fuel and not only the spark right? And the car wouldn't burn unnecessary fuel (and of course no farting noises)

[@flyingbear_fpv9291]

It is and it is not... The thing is, all DSG cars, or cars with double clutched automatic gearboxes, can produce those farts. Mostly those farts are absorbed by the resonator. Once you delete the resonator, the farts are audible. You would be able to code it away, but then you'd increase fuel-consumption and stress on the engine and transmission.

[@tedjohnson64]

Nice explanation! One question: why doesn't this harm the catalytic converter? On carbureted cars from the 90's, running too rich could cause the catalytic convertor to get too hot (burning raw fuel), resulting in an expensive repair (new cat, to replace the burned out one). Why doesn't DSG cause this problem? Is is because the # of shifts (and therefore # of DSG farts) is so low, when compared to rich running cars which let raw gas into the cat on every cycle?

I sold my mk7.5 golf r and bought a new 5f cupra 290 and it’s fitted with the dreaded gpf , the R is obviously considerably faster from launch with the dsg7 and had the dsg bang but the cupra pretty easily gap’s the R everywhere else from 2nd gear,! But the cupra dsg7 has what id describe as a thud and not a bang on upshifts, I’ve got to say it does detract from the experience, although as the miles go on and ive nearly 3000 now the gpf equipped cupra is getting louder and starting to burble and bang on the over run but nothing like the 300 did. As the saying goes you don’t know what you’re missing till it’s got and that’s definitely my view. Good explanation thanks.👍

Shifts are so fast; the engine has to cut spark between them... DSGs are better for fuel economy; throws raw fuel into the exhaust. Things aren't adding up here.

1. There is no "ignition cuts" of course, there is a just very late timing during the shifts, like -10 BTDC. So-you have only a very very small amount of unburnt fuel in your exhaust. If you put ALL of your unburned fuel during the upshifts outside, you will destroy your exhaust manifold and turbo and catalytic converter in no time. This DSG "fart" is basically because of the engine running on the very late timing. You can clearly see this on the VCDS log, this is not a rocket since. 2. DSG using this timing reduction not for the "flare prevention", but for the reduction of the torque during shifting, for preventing excessive clutch slipping, overheating and preventing the kicks. 3. During the ANY shift, there is the time frame, when both clutches are engaged, but with different pressure applied to the pistons. During the launch control, your DSG using the S mode shifting times map, which is way shorter than the D shifting time map, and less torque reduction, this why you can not hear the DSG fart. You can clearly see it in the DSG flash dump. 4. You can completely disable this torque reduction in DSG flash, you will have some kicks during shifting, even your wheels can chirp during the shifts. But you will have faster times.

Personality, I can understand the reasoning behind this if those farts were limited to a "sports mode" and only happen during high load, launch control, etc. But actually, it seems that modern cars tend to fart all the time, at any load, any mode and even in traffic, which is imo just unnecessary and somewhat pathetic.

Very intresting. Cool stuff. I'll have to listen for it next time I come across a gti or an Audi. I wish my mk4 gli 05 automatic could be that cool.

I thought paul was going to fart 💨 Here’s my opinion 💨

Manual stands for pure driving pleasure...🕹️🕹️

[@MGRracing]

Manual is the best by far. Maybe not for the traffic light grand prix, but there is far more involvement and fun driving a manual that far outweighs any benefit of shaving a few milliseconds off an gear change. Maybe if people spent their entire lives at a drag strip and every fraction of a second counts.. but in the real world there is much more to a drivers car than getting super fast shift times.

but mercedes could do same but without farts at all go and listen

[@pk-so1mj]

Merc make exactly the same noise🤔? Go listen to an A45 AMG with a big exhaust system. Merc still run a lot of auto transmissions in their cars though so maybe that is what you are comparing to?

[@dincicalex5082]

pk3012 i am talking with stock exhaust not 3rd party one look c43 amg,c63 amg,s63 amg all of them doesnt have fart noise okay maybe a bit but not like all others and upshifts are more pleasing than golfs,...

Its unburnt fuel being dumped into the exhaust intentionally to make the noise. It’s part of the ECU calibration. Non sporty DSG equipped VAG cars don’t make the noise. It’s theatre to make the sporty cars stand out.

Stupid, right? I was wondering why the fuel injection is 't cut as well. I guess little boys like fart sounds. I still prefer my non-farting V8 xD
