Tdi 110 How Noisey Is Yours Mine Sounds Like A Transit Van

[zorgman]

sick of this sharan how vedub could make a car with so many faults is beyond me, anyhow thats off my chest.

 

sorted all the head out new valves etc, fired up and boy is it niosey so out with vag com and done the dynamic timing which is just over the middle line to help starting but its still noisey as in its like a heavy noise as opposed to a quite noise what i was used to in my xantia td. I know tdi's are more noisey thann norm td but stood next to a one in street other day same engine but year older and it was half as noisey as mine. it intrudes into the car as such at 60mph you cant have a normal converstion without realy raising the voice.

so then any thoughts what is going on with it im sure something is just not right but it starts first time wouldnt say its as pokey as any other diesel car ive drove but all those were just td's. noticed its got a slight flat spot 1500-2000rpm and no faults have shown on vagcom .

anybody have suggestions before a sell it and buy a van to drive about (backs gone so cant get in our out of a car)

:lol: no way mum go down the tole moterway bit every so often (wendy lets me speed there no cops)

the handling and speed of that well mini bus still makes me grin from time to time

nah not bothered about hearing wife or kids just nice to hear myself talk. drives you nuts when your tootling about and its all engine noise

[Beyond Help?]

Did you fit new valve lifters? Did the belt snap? Timing must be pretty much spot on the it won't start or will smoke.

[zorgman]

belt had slipped taking out 4 valves, only thing not original is cam and springs all else brand new. timed up spot on basic and timed with vag com spot on dead on the middle line. no faults shown its transit noisey from tickover upwards

[Neils TDi again]

A quick thing to try would be to remove the alternator belt then see if the noise reduces as the tensioner on the 110 engine has a habit of wearing through the bushes in the casting and then the engine sounds very very noisy but it is actually the belt tensioner and not the mechanicals of the engine.

So it was you going passed me at high speed then was that your lady chazy with her eyes shut and looking pale. ^_^

So back to my original question, is your tdi noisey as in like a harsh heavy sound or a light sound and can you hear the intake roar
