I hear all the normal pd tdi passat 2005 engine sounds, but this morning I noticed an additional sound on acceleration. It sounds like a Harley or motorboat sound. A bum bum bum bum sound. No metal or banging sounds. Just the described sound mostly on acceleration, barely perceptible at idle. I realize this question is more difficult without being in presence of the car. There are no dtc codes thrown or difficulties in starting or operating the car. 178 k miles. Thanks in advance for suggestions.
