Servus nach München Chris,

ich habe bei meinem Mj. 2019 F-Type R (EZ 11/2018) die Sicherung dauerhaft draußen. Beim letzten kostenlosen Kundendienst vor einer Woche wurde festgestellt, dass die Klappen fest sind. Zum Glück noch innerhalb der Garantie - der Endtopf kostet fast 4.000,-. Ohne funktionierende Klappen kein TÜV.

Ich werde nun fragen, ob die den alten Auspuff zurücksenden müssen, oder ob der vernichtet wird. Wenn er Schrott ist, hole ich mir das Teil nach Hause und versuche die Klappen (wie oben im Video beschrieben) gangbar zu machen.

Gruß Thomas

Now short in English

I drove my 2019 F-Type R (EZ 11/2018) without fuse, now the valves stuck in `open` position. Valves without function are in Germany for the TÜV-Test (every 2 years) not allowed. Good luck - the car ist in the last days of warranty, because the price for the exhaust ist 4.000,- Euro. If they don´t want the part back, I bring it home and try to make it work again.

 

So many questions and threads on the valves, what the active switch does, how it works in dynamic. It's very confusing! Would be great if someone could draw the flowchart to show what the different options do - the exhaust switch, dynamic mode, pulling the fuse etc! That would be a great chart!

 

I've had a vaccum line reattached twice now, simple but chronic.

 

It's also complicated by the fact that different MYs appear to exhibit different behaviours! In my MY18 dynamic mode opens the valves all the time, in non-dynamic mode the exhaust switch caues the valves to open at 1500 rpm (you can hear the difference between the two at tickover). With everything "off" the valves open around 3500-4000 rpm. Other MYs open the valves all the time on the exhaust switch, and others (I think newer MYs) don't open the valves until 3500-4000 rpm even in dynamic. It is, as you say, all very confusing!

 

Can you share what symptom led you to discover the vacuum line was disconnected?

 

Little or no pops!
