6n2 1.4 16v engine sound like a truck

[Jeron]

Recently picked up a 6n2 1.4. The 16v 75bhp model.

Few little cosmetic issues, but the engine sounds like a diesel / truck. Not that its an issue, just wondering if its something wrong? The previous owner said they all sound like that..

Anyone got a video of one or similar?

mine sure doesn't haha, is it coming from the engine directly or the exhaust?

First thing to check is the engine oil! If that's all good then move on to check the gearbox oil.
Do u have problems selecting certain gears?
