Hi! I'm new to diesels but nonetheless I have an issue that I don't think is normal.
My 2010 TDI Golf Wagon resonanates like a giant subwoover at low-RPMs somewhere around 1250 - 1300 rpm. I find this extremely annoying as my body picks this resonance and I find it very uncomfortable.
The engine is not broken-in so I'm not sure whether this will go away once I reach a few thousand KMs.
This humming noise also doesn't sound as being the consequence of something being loose, as there's no rattle associated with things being loose.
I also do not remember this to be present at all when I test drove a 2009 TDI Jetta Wagon (essentially the same type of car).
It would be very unpractial for me to try to drive the car at some other RPMs because this issue occurs at around the range where DSG likes to sit in all gears. As soon as the RPM go over 1800 or so, DSG will upshift and settle at 1250 or so - right in the range where the annoying deep humming is happenning.
At other RPMs the car and engine are almost as quiet as gasoline engines.
I wonder if anyone else have noticed a similar behaviour in their 2.0 TDI?
I will raise my concern next time I visit my dealer but in the meantime I would like to know if I'm the only one.
