CarMad Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Welcome to TSN ! Unless you can get into a newer common rail diesel found in the BMs or some of the later Audi / VW engines I am not sure what you can do. I have heard that its possible to fit extra sound deadening to cars but that isn't going to change the sound only reduce what you might be able to hear in the cabin I am afraid.

GCab Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 You could try BP Ultimate - made a noticeable difference to my Audi TDI engine when I had it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiddy Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Welcome to TSN! Different fuels can make a bit of difference,well it seems it does anyway mines the 2.5 v6 tdi, with mine i found just buying sainsburys diesel can make a bit of difference im going to try the BP stuff when i can, just from filling up at sainsburys the car sounded a little bit quieter and smoother then when i fill up at the local esso, when i had a 1.9 tdi i didnt really notice or think about it as long as i was getting over 500 miles to a tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shao_khan Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 As said by Smiddy - if oyu get over 400 on a tank then who cares what it sounds like, do it up, make it look good and be happy in the knowledge that it looks cool and still does mega mpg.

Rustynuts Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 What's wrong with the sound of a diesel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durrsaku Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 how about selling it and buying a petrol? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munki Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 You can actually buy and fit sound deadening material, but it increases the weight of your car, is a pain to fit and it's not cheap. If your car is anything like a lupo with painted metal on the inside I would say that you are gonna get a lot of noise. Cars with lined interiors tend to be quieter.
