    So I removed the Soundaktor today....

    Wow! Such a difference, I can hear the turbo now! If you haven't done it already, go do it now.

    So I removed the Soundaktor today....

    Is it easy to do? I've seen a few "how to's " regarding the polo, but none for the golf. Any chance of a walk through on how to do it on the golf?

    Interesting....... Just saw this youtube vid on the Golf MK6

    Episode 35: 2011 VW GTI: The Soundaktor - YouTube

    Might have a play and disconnect it for a week and see what difference it makes.

    Anyone put a switch in theirs? Was thinking of using a blank in front of the gear lever to do one now that I have the sub. Soundaktor off for music, on for fanging.

    After a 28km drive without this P.O.S. connected , it will never be reconnected.
    I can't believe they put this device in the car. The copit would have to be 60% quieter.
    Rip it out or diconnect it people.....

    Haha i remember doing this on my polo gti when i had it. It makes it much quieter when cruising plus when you have it in sports mode its i would agree about 60% quiter when its holding onto the rpm

    If they were going to put an electronic transducer in they could have at least given us the option to make it sound like a Lamborghini V10
