Just updated my 2015 4cyl dark label with a Highline 580 after 200k trouble free kms.
Yes, lots more power but it has a very loud diesel rattle at light throttle. My 4cyl was never like that. It’s a definite diesel clatter, but very loud and it “turns off” as soon as you bury your foot.VW say it’s normal, but having 6 years in a 4cyl Amarok there was nothing like this. Engine is turbine smooth and quiet once underway, a bit too quiet actually, I miss the purr of the 4cyl under load.
I now listen to every V6 I can taking off, including Touareg, Q7’s, but they are just turbine smooth, just a gravelly sound at most.
Any ideas?
