That's because it's first gear that is the problem. Range mode only uses second gear.In my car the humming isn’t there in the range mode, so that’s a difference…
Gearbox is not PDK.Mine certainly makes a different sound in the lower gear but I can’t remember if it always has done. If I drive at 40mph in normal mode then switch to sport (thereby forcing a gear change) the pitch certainly changes to more of a whine. I don’t know if this comes from the PDK being in the lower gear or simply because the electric motor is spinning almost twice as fast.
you will find many topics similar, like:I have GTS and I have whining noise under 50mph regardless of driving mode and recuperation.
I hear both under acceleration and deceleration. Is this normal?
Thanks in advance
