Is this loud?

[Mo_86]

Hi all,
Looking at buying this Leon with the 1.4 150ps dsg engine.
The owner has sent this video but it seems a little loud.
Can owners of the 1.4 please let me know if this is normal or not, your help will be much appreciated.
My 2L tsi is a lot quieter than this hence my worries.

 

[Seriously?]

Ouch!
Ours sound nowhere near as clattery

Leon 1.4 sound

youtube.com

This is the sound with the bonnet down, blocked the video as i didnt wanna expose the number plate.

So I've checked the video against a 1.4 tsi in a golf although thats a 125 and it sounds the same.

Hard to tell from just a video - maybe the microphone is extra sensitive.
Direct injection engines can 'tick' a bit from the injectors.

I will go down to view it in person, see if it quietens when warm.
