So as i mentioned in previous thread my 147 1.9 jtd has got pretty louder since i replaced a ton of belts, pullys, all the pumps etc..
Here is the sound after turning it on in the morning.
This is without the hood opened, the noise gets louder at the end of the recording because i've put the mic above my front left tire.

I would be surprised if it was oil but for the record, unless someone lives in somewhere like Abu Dhabi or Trondheim (or it is a track car) the oil to use in a TS or JTD is a 5W/40. Can we forget any mostly nonsense about 10W/40 or 15W/40 oils which were specified in the now 20 year old owners manuals?
