306 Gti6 engine sounds

[Chr1sch]

Interestingly enough I started an identical thread on the gti6 website, mine sounds similarly nasty, has done for ages but like yours, goes well, doesnt smoke, use oil etc.

I discovered i had a loose airbox intake tube thing which caused the rattle at the end of my clip (the one that sounds like bottom end), other than that mine is equally noisy at the head end, see what you think:

As a note, i run (and its always been run, on 5w40 fully synthetic, seems like there is no definitive answer to that question...)
