Hey all I'm new to the forums.
I have a new ibiza FR TDi and I was just woundering what noise the exhaust makes when accelerating just above a normal rate mine is really loud like its either vibrating on summut or the exhaust has a hole init... I thought nothing of it untill a few people commented on it.

Also a knocking sound on the driver side drives when going over small bumps in the road, ne clues?

Cheers all.

What speed and what revs does this noise occur?

It could be your boost pipe rattling on the fuel pump housing

I booked it into the garage in 2 weeks time for 10k service and he's gunna sort the exhaust and try and find what the noise is inside. I also asked about not having the LED on the inside of my door but he fobbed me off. :s

The vibration is most likely the boost pipe rattling against the fuel filter housing, very very common.

Open the bonnet, look behind the driver's side headlight and you'll see a large black plastic pipe, disappearing down behind the headlight. Also behind the headlight next to the wing is the fuel filter, which sits in a round black housing.
When you accelerate, the engine moves and the pipe rattles against the filter housing.
Solution = stick some foam on the pipe or housing where they touch.
