I think this "diesel" sound is nothing to worry about at all. In ten years all petrol engines will have direct injection and will all tick...tick..tick...tick...tick...tick...(Is a bit annoying eh?)
Open the bonnet of an idling VW Golf GTI V or Audi with FSi and you will hear the same thing. It really is nothing to worry about. Diesel cars have ticked since the German dude invented them...
Also remember that this new engine is prob the most advanced engine on the road today, it has direct injection, variable valve timing AND lift (Valvetronic), high compression and twin scroll turbo, all this in the name of efficiency...which it is.
Just enjoy the car, and dont sweat the small stuff ! |
