Is it down to not being insulated properly?

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Its more than likely due to the fact that the rest of the mk6 is so quiet in comparison to the mk5 so you wouldn't of heard it.

My mk5 did it.  I am pretty sure you will hear it with most cars mind.  Thats what happens when 55 litres of liquid move when going round corners and the radio is turned off.
