loud engine !
« on: 16 October 2012, 09:42 »
Oks got a question about the loudness of my Golf for as long as i can remember the engine in my Golf its the baby TDi ARG 90 on a W plate. Its loud as in tappaty, not rattlely or anything just when ideling sounds quite loud to me no like overly loud just loud ( i am explaining this well lol) but then i remember its a old under powered Diesel lol.

So is this normal for that engine? or is it worth looking in to

Thanks in advance
Mike
