Logical. I hope mine never sounds as clattery and truck like as that one.

Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before.
We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

The newer Common Rail (CR) diesels dont have as much of the "diesel rattle" as the earlier PD engines. Also depends on what diesel fuel you run in your vehicle makes a difference also - stay away from Bio-diesel!! The good stuff is BP Ultimate diesel and caltex Vortex diesel - these are the new premium diesels on the market and helps reduce that "rattle".
I didn't really buy the diesel version for it's "sound", although i did love the exhaust note of the RS petrol, and the throttle response - it almost swayed me. But the diesel had me for economy and torque/towing power.
Oh and by the way to stay on the thread - I saw a black Pre-FL RS Sedan TFSI near the round about at Maitland (NSW) Hospital a couple of days ago. Looked good!!Last edited by dazag; 10-01-2010, 05:23 AM.

Do any of you do "The Wave".
I always did "The Nod" when I had the motorbike - especially with other Bimmer riders.
We are a select group, us Skoda folk. The wave to fellow owners should be explained in the owners manual.carandimage The place where Off-Topic is On-Topic
I used to think I was anal-retentive until I started getting involved in car forums

I've spotted an Octavia Scout in Dulwich Hill Sydney - oops, that would be mine. I even put a sticker on the rear window last night so that my wife would be able to find ours amongst all the others in a car park!
