Hmm... my 1.4CL seems to make a strange noise when accelerating these days.

When I accelerate at reasonably low revs, the engine sounds like a diesel or something

Is it my poor maintanence of the engine? or is the car simply due for a service?

just give the car a mini service (regardless of milage)

- change the oil/oil filter
- change the air filter/pollen filter
- Change the spark plugs

then go to a recommended garage/or one that you trust to get your engine tuned up...

after the tune up, your MK4 will be back on point

Are you running a amp? I had that in my golf, and it was a bad earth, so it picks up the engine noise, kinda sounds like a whistling turbo,lol.
Hope that helps.
