Don’t think that’s an MY19 if it’s already in your driveway. But good try.

Edit: love the Camry in the background lol

Cheers for that. Would that void the warranty

Does it give out the DSG farts, burbles or pops in any particular drive mode?

Or do you need something like a res delete/mod of the exhaust to get these sounds?

On my stock 2018 golf gti 7.5 the DSG farts and burbles and pops are louder in sports mode or when you are giving it a good go in manual mode. The sounds are definitely louder and more noticeable on the outside then it is on the inside.
I have plans to make farts and pops louder in the future via some sort of exhaust mod (not sure which route to go yet) or maybe even some sort of tune like a apr stage 2 to make the pops and crackles heaps louder. But only after my warranty runs out in 3 years.

You'll get them in the GTI and R without a res delete, but apparently only after switching from Normal to Race after start-up or to Individual with Race sound. 'Word has it the ECU resets the 2nd exhaust valves after shutdown regardless of the mode. And yes, a res delete will release a little more sound, but nothing like a proper sports muffler swap.

One for the city dwellers with DSG. 'Noticed in traffic yesterday that light pressure on the brake while at the lights (with stop/start deactivated) leaves the clutch engaged. I knew this because the revs were up slightly and the moment I lift off the car moves instantly without the expected engagement delay. When you press the brake more firmly, idle revs decrease and there's the delay when you release, meaning the clutch was disconnected.

Could make a difference to the long term service costs for the DSG ?

Anyone got any news to share regarding changes we're likely to see for MY19 spec Golf 7.5?

Personally, I think DAB+ radio would be very welcome, and maybe a HUD...

Anyone? Anyone?

Presumably no news must be good news...

I too have observed same, and presumed same conclusion. Trying to learn to press harder on brake when stopped.
When pressing hard on brake pedal, I also see a small indicator in the MFD, showing the AutoStopStart is disabled.

If you press lightly on brake pedal to stop at lights (with auto stop engaged) you can activate the green park brake but not turn the engine off. The revs will also drop back indicating the clutches have disengaged. Push a harder on the brake and the engine will stop unless a/c overloaded etc.
