Noise

[purplemadboy]

How noisy should my engine be?Mine has a deep growl,as much as a deisel can growl.But a Sharan passed by and it had a nice sound ,much softer than mine and I could hear the turbo whine,no chance of hearing it on mine.It goes in for its first service(interime)2000 miles should I say anything?

mmmm, have you tried opening both the front windows fully, then at a junction somewhere, accelerate hard, you should hear the "turbo" whistle, but i think the growl is much sexier!

Petrol Turbo perhaps ?

[Guest MATT]

The TDi VW sourced engine is a bit rattly from cold and also when pulling away from standstill.

 

But once up into 3rd gear + you should not really hear the rattling in the cabin. And at cruise speed all you should hear is road and wind noise.

 

I find the best gear to hear turbo whine is 3rd and 4th. Not a bad noise and not very intrusive.

 

There is a little low down growl but not much. Frankly, you know this unit is a diesel when :angry: cold, :lol: sitting on idle and B) pulling away. It's not as quiet as a Peugeot HDi unit and the magazines state that the VW engine is a bit rattly low down.

 

Your car may settle down with a bit more mileage.

 

If it really bothers you then ask the dealer to let you listen to another Galaxy.
