Clio 172 at idle

[Scudetto]

I popped open the bonnet to fill the washer resevoir yesterday while my engine was idling. The engine was warm. It sounds quite rattly, well maybe not rattly, but sort of gurgly, if that makes any sense? Its a peach when running and it pulls like a Latino when you accelerate, so I dont think anythings a miss. How do yours sound please?

I think they all sound like that with the bonnet open...theres a lot of sound deadening in there.

or.....get a K-Tec exhaust....you wont hear anything else then LOL!
