My boss was in my car yesterday and he did comment that the sound was louder on the motorway than my old 520d, must say I agree.

At 80 mph in 6th the engine is running at 2100rpm (150 diesel): he has an Audi A6 190 DSG and told me today his engine is below 1700rpm at 80mph...at 95mph he's at 2000rpm.

Anyone else find the 150 diesel a little loud on the motorway?

It's highly possible that his Audi has the 7 speed wet clutch DSG in (not available in Skoda).

P.s. in fact yes it does:

Yes, I suppose a 7 speed would explain it, mine's manual btw

Could be worse. The Octavia 150 DSG courtesy car we had before the S3 was delivered did 2,500rpm at just 70mph.

Even my 2.0TSI is only 1,800rpm at 70mph and about 2,100rpm at 80mph.
