I must admit I am confused by all this, my last car was a GT TDI (diesel obviously!) and my ED30 sounds nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing like it (cold start or running). :huh:

It has a nice low burble from the exhaust and has done since delivery, I even thought how nice it sounded when the delivery guy started it up to take it off the transporter.  Don't know if I have a good 'un and you all have duds  :smug:

not got mine yet , will let you all know. Kinda hope its gonna be quiet
It certainly seems common on various gti forums.
Dont suppose theres any correlation between noise and service style (i.e oil type)?
