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.

i do agree the right oil and regular service biodiesel also some how quietens my b4 with 1z engine
the engine number starts in AFN dont know if this means anything, How would i know if it has a PD engine.Quote:

Regular oil and filter changes, as has been said, do improve things.
An AFN isn't PD.
Do you have a blowing exhaust?

AFN = 110psi IIRC (same as whats in chris's skoda!)
Indeed, bhp is the same as the Skoda.Quote:
