Hi, I went to see this car (video url is down below) at a dealership, and I found the engine noise at idle very strange. I searched this forum and they mentioned that it's normal for this type of engine because it has more powerful air injectors and a high air compression for a 1.0 engine.

I asked the dealership to check in the workshop if everything was okay because the salesperson also didn’t know the origin of the sound but suspects it could be something related to air valves.

Information about the car:

  • Seat Ibiza 1.0 TSI FR 110hp
  • Year: 2021
  • 48,222 km
  • They are offering an 18-month warranty

What do you guys think?

Update:
It looks like it wasn't normal. I went to check 2 other cars of identical year, model and engine and neither of them made this sound.
