AMG GT S Exhaust Problem After Service

Hi All,

had my first service in the car today, they did an engine software update and a transmission update, and suspension update.

i got the car back this evening and went for a drive and realised that the exhaust was considerably more quiet at idle than it was before.

normally, in comfort mode as soon as you press the exhaust button you hear a very obvious rumble in the cabin, however when i press it now you still can hear a small rumble if you listen carefully but nowhere near as loud. it seems the exhaust only becomes obvious as i go higher in the revs.

also, I'm hearing a very loud turbo whine.

has anyone else had a similar experience? id like to know why as the sound is one of the best things about this car normally.

thank you in advance!

It may sound obvious but take it back and go through everything with the service manager.

I am sure they will make it right.
