05 Passat 271k miles. My wife and daughter have been driving this for the last 2000 miles or so. I haven't even heard it running in a couple of months. Yesterday, I take it out. Ac on high, radio was load, but within 100 yards I realized it sounds crappy. Here's a video. I'm not 100 % sure that it wasn't an instant failure of some sort, or something that built over time. Wife's response is that all the diesels always sound load. This is way beyond that. Seems to drive fine but sound like it's going to self destruct at idle.
