Petrol sounds like a Diesel
Hi all,
I’ve not long had my 60 plate Astra 1.6 SRI, so still getting used to what’s ‘normal’.
The latest thing I’ve noticed is when pulling away at low revs and generally the noise from the engine with the bonnet open for example, is that it sounds like a diesel!
Coming from a silky smooth Civic 1.8 VTEC, this is very much a surprise.
Is this ‘normal’? It’s been serviced, new cam belt and MOT.
Thanks

A Few Interior Parts For Sale
I've got a few parts that I'm selling. They are parts I have after changing my interior for a leather one.

5 door hatchback SRI rear seats. In good condition, my car had done 98k when removed, £35.
