How noisy is a 2.4jtd at idle?
Discussion
My JTD sounds like a lorry at idle after the engine is warmed up.
Not sure if it has always been like that, but lately it sounds literally like a pikey spec diesel transit.
Under load it's ok. There are no 'nasty' noises where it would seem something has come off.
I would be interested to hear of other experiences of alfa diesels.
It completely drowned out a BMW diesel and my old banger today. :yikes:

BP ultimate diesel is supposed (according to BP.com) to make your engine run quieter. I've just put a tankful off the stuff and mpg is up about 10% in the first 50 miles. Hopefully it'll have an effect on the idle noise after a few more 50 mile motorway runs.
If it does I'll let you know.
