Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Thanks for that - the speed thing makes sense as it is at different rpm's in the gears but at similar speeds to your's - I'll check tomorrow.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

When switched into loud mode, there appears to be certain bands where it switches to quiet automatically - normally around 3000 rpm and comes back in again after a certain time. I have heard in the past this is for trackday driveby noise regs - is this true? More importantly, is there a way of disabling this? When I want it quiet, I will switch it myself! Thanks in advance Paul

POST 2Original post

Paul, It's speed related not RPM and to enable the PSE to pass German road drive by noise tests. Mine goes quiet at 28/9mph and regains normal volume at 43ish mph. I use it as a safety feature: If I'm burbling along in a built up area I'm within the 30 limit. I can assure that on track days you spend the vast majority of the time between 5,000 and 7,200 rpm. Regards

Thanks for that - the speed thing makes sense as it is at different rpm's in the gears but at similar speeds to your's - I'll check tomorrow. Good point on track day rpm there! Cheers Paul

POST 4Original post

Not sure if this is what you are looking for Paul, But over on RennTech Loren has posted the instructions on how to remove the 'quiet' part whist still leaving the dash switch operational. All credits for this go to Loren on RennTech.org...so I hope there are no issues with me posting the link here http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=491 Glen.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thank you very much - that is exactly what I am looking for! Paul
