Re: [MBZ] what IS the "diesel noise"?

[Peter Frederick]

Hmm.  My experience is that the VW/Audi engine is MUCH noisier than the 
Benz engine -- my Volvo used to turn heads at idle, clanking and 
banging away.  Currently suffering from, I think, another dead IP.

 The rotary pump has a large piston flying back and forth, I'd not 
expect it to be any quieter than an inline pump, quite the opposite.
