My 2009 Volkswagen Passat Doesn’t Run As Quiet As Before by Angelawhite(m): 11:07am On Sep 28, 2021
Hi car lovers and experts.
I love my cars running quite. I do my routine car servicing as at when due. But I noticed that recently, my engine noise has increased significantly. It no longer idles quietly as before. My mechanics think they don’t notice any difference.

What do you think could be the factors of an engine noise increasing?

Have you leave your car in the workshop let’s say for minimum of 2 hours ??

If yes, they might have cooked your indomie with Sausage with egg
