Exhaust Valve?
I've read a few things about this but have no solid conclusion...
Being winter now in Canada, you can see the exhaust exit from the left side when it's cold. Obviously this is normal if the valve is closed by being in comfort mode. I've also read it will stay closed regardless if it's sport or manual if the car has not warmed up.
However, even after the car has warmed up entirely, I noticed it still only expels out the left side of the exhaust when idling - in either of the 3 modes.
Am I missing something? Also when idling I noticed the exhaust has a slight "vibration" noise. Is there a possibility of something being wrong with the valve?
