The engine is definitely noisy when cold. When warm, at idle it's pretty quiet, at least as good, or better than my previous renault scenic (1.9D). It is noisier when you put the foot down, but in a *nice* way, I have to say the noise at 3k RPM is pretty awesome, I didn't expect the lowly 2.0d diesel to have such a nice roar, it is a bit addictive :-)

One thing I noticed recently is a small "whistling" noise sometime, I thought it was linked to the aircon, but it doesn't appear to be, seems like the cooling fan or something. It seems to come and go, and perhaps it's linked to the external air temperature... Still trying to figure this one out...
