Not a big deal, the diesel like engine sound disappears when you give it gas, but it is alittle embarrassingwhen you start it up.

Accel said:How is that embarasing? I loved peoples reactions when ever I start up my real TDI, no one believed me that it was diesel.
nomios said:Why? Because I did not buy a TDI!
I was hoping for a nice rumble not a click click click...
cmdrfire said:Rumble comes from a V6 (a la R32, that's got a pleasant burble to it). Our flat-4 clicking comes from the injectors that are used. I don't really mind to be honest, because the sound is terrific once you're away and in the cabin you can't really tell, but I opened the bonnet once (the "hood" as our compatriots choose to call it) and it was really clickyclickyclicky.
They [flat engines] sound "lumpy"...and lumpy = good. :biggrin:GTT said:BTW, I like the sound of flat engines, very different and cool.

GTT said:Just a polite correction. The GTI does not have a "flat 4". It is an inline 4.
An example of a flat 4 would be the Subaru WRX/STi or Porsche's flat engines.
