Hey,
I've not long since bought by 2.0tdi 140 a3 (06) and i've never driven a turbo diesel before so i have no idea how there supposed to sound, but mine makes a quiet siren like noise around 1400-2200rpm which sounds a bit like a police car. Now I've read up a little bit on the net and there seems to be a split oppinion as to whether this is normal for a tdi or if its the turbo about to go bang.
when i bought the car i checked with the previous garage that had sold it and they said that the turbo was replaced on the car (less than a year ago) so im hoping this is just a characteristic of this turbo model :S
I've got no loss of power whatsoever and everything else is superb....
*fingers crossed*
Thanks
DC
