Hello, my car has about 70,000 km. I am worried if the engine sound when idling is okay, or a sign of some problems.

Welcome to Briskoda.

My engine sounds very similar to your videos; can’t hear any difference.

OK mine is a 1.5TSi (NOT e-Tec) manual with about 58,000 miles (~94,000km).

What is it about the noise of yours that makes you worried?

Thanks for the reply.

Do be honest I don't know, just sound wird for me.

Maybe just because it's a three cylinder engine

The data sheet for the 1.5 e-TEC talks absolut 4 cylinder

Yep, the 1.5 is a four cylinder engine. It’s the 1.0 e-Tec that is three cylinder (and surprisingly capable).

Ah, I always thought it was 3 cylinder. Weird! You'd think they'd make it 3 cylinders as 500cc is supposed to be the optimum cylinder volume for fuel efficiency.
