1984 300TD euro. Here's a youtube.com video I uploaded just now.
1984 300TD cold engine sound - YouTube
Since this has been my only diesel car, I really have no idea what it should sound like. It sat for 12 hours. The car was started completely cold.
I've owned the car almost 2 years now. Never had a compression test done on it or a valve adjustment. Does it sound like it needs one?
I recently changed my engine and trans mounts and adjusted my rack damper. It's pretty smooth compared to how it was before.
