2001 Beetle TDI - 186k - Auto
Picked this up as a project for my daughter who is getting her license.
Just got done going through almost everything on the engine. New TB+Kit, New Serpentine Belt, New gaskets throughout, Cleaned EGR, Cleaned Intake, Disassembled & cleaned Turbo, New ECT sensor, New Fan Sensor, New vacuum hoses throughout, cleaned intercooler & all piping. Replaced almost all coolant hoses and all hose clamps.
I'm used to my Cayenne Twin Turbo but it sounds nothing like this TDI.
I did a recording and just want to make sure it sounds "normal" to everyone. I believe I am good to go but just looking for that warm fuzzy confirmation.
You can hear it idling, slowly bringing rpm to ~ 2000 and a couple of blips of the throttle. In the blips you can hear the turbo which I believe is also normal. As you can see in the video all covers are off, it's on jackstands and in my garage so all sounds I'm sure are amplified.
Anything that doesn't sound normal please let me know.
