Turbo Diesel Isawesome?

More on topic, turbo noises I'd expect from the front of the car, not the rear. But it's certainly not noisy normally so whatever it is isn't normal....

Turbocharged Direct Injection, so those people are wrong. I'm not sure that any consumer diesel isn't turbocharged these days....

Any thoughts on what it could be? There appears to be baffles in the tank to prevent such a noise. Is there something else people are aware of? I am desperate for answers!

It's a great site to bookmark when you own a TDI.

Sounds like other diesel owners have had the same issue, but it doesn't seem consistent among all owners. Any thoughts on if it could be an internal baffle that is meant to buffer the sound? At what point do I ask the dealer to pull the tank and check it out? What is reasonable?

yea I don't think any diesel engine car will run without a turbo. I wish I had own the TDI version. I love the torque.

Unfortunately I can't get a good recording of the sound. It's too subtle. Ergggg. The dealership isn't getting anywhere with this and I'm not sure what to do. I may take it to a second dealership and see if they have any idea as to what it is. Thank to all for your helpful comments!

My wife drive MDX and every time after you fill tank and stop - you hear this sound - this is gasoline (diesel in your case) in your tank slashing in the fuel tank.
If you need more explanation why this happen from scientific point of you - reed this
