As per the title why would my car sound like an old transit van, its 8 years old and done just under 112k. Am i unlucky or does anyone elses sound like this. My wifes car sounds better than mine and its an 98 mondeo td with 167k on it.

Does it have a PD TDI engine?
I bought my T5 van which... sounded like a... noisy van... but after putting proper (and expensive) Shell PD oil in it, it nows runs quieter.
Just a thought.

That's not a PD engine, it's an older VE type. PD's were introduced in 2000ish with the ATJ 115 BHP, like I've got.
Regular oil and filter changes, as has been said, do improve things.

An AFN isn't PD.
Do you have a blowing exhaust?

Indeed, bhp is the same as the Skoda.
However the Skoda's engine code is AHF... :p
