Hi,
I have just bough a 2015 Passat Estate 2.0 TDI SE Business and have noticed that there is a lot of engine noise from around 2000rpm that almost sounds like a blowing exhaust or something vibrating although you can't feel any vibration in the car. It isn't there below 2000 rpm only on acceleration and above 2000rpm. The noise also goes away if you lift off the accelerator. Any ideas what could be causing this or is it normal for this car?
Thanks

Vile Invention
Dark was that day when Diesel conceived his grim engine that begot you, vile invention, more vicious, more criminal than the camera even, metallic monstrosity, bale and bane of our culture, chief woe of our Commonweal. How dare the Law prohibit hashish and heroin yet license your use, who inflate all weak inferior egos? Their addicts only do harm to their own lives: you poison the lungs of the innocent, your din dithers the peaceful, and on choked roads hundreds must daily die by chance-medley. Nimble technicians, surely you should hang your heads in shame. Your wit works mighty wonders, has landed men on the Moon, replaced brains by computers, and can smithy a "smart" bomb. It is a crying scandal that you cannot take the time or be bothered to build us, what sanity knows we need, an odorless and noiseless staid little electric brougham.

Thanks Crasher,
It looks like the engine cover is a little loose does it just pull off? I assume I will need to replace the rubber mounts.
Thanks
Yes it pulls off, the mounts wear (07C 103 226) and the ball heads (04L 103 164 although two are part of the cam cover) can snap. I put the mounts in with a little light weight RTV if they are loose in the cover locations and sometimes I even put DynaMatt inside the cover to dampen vibrations.
