Hi, I've attached a video so that you can hear the sound of my 3.0 tdi quattro a6. I need someone to tell me if this is a healthy diesel sound, since the 3.0 tdi have a reputation of a good sounding diesels. The car is of course in idle with the transmission in neutral.

The clatter sound is more pronounced than it was on my Q5, slightly more pronounced than my Touareg was, though not more pronounced than the sound of many diesel trucks I have heard.

it was a cold engine though that should not matter that much. it has 150 000km or 93 000 miles. It does not feel like chain, more like an injector. If someone can share their experience?

Sounds just like mine.

The sound is louder than it was on my 2015 A6 with 147k miles.
