Soon as diesels stop sounding like black hackney cabs then I'll give them more serious thought.

The MK5 at idle doesnt sound far off from a diesel, Im yet to hear a MK6 idling, does it sound any better? It is still essentially the same engine.

does the new GTI engine not sound like a diesel on idle then? Have they cured that particular trait?


yep, its as quiet as a church mouse now, in fact i was surprised how quiet it ticks over - you can't hear anything!  or maybe that's cause i have the dynaudio on...    :grin:
