I thought this sound was a characteristic of the VWs dating back to
the type 1 engine, but still somewhat present even in the type 4... 
Or is this a different sound? My wife claims she can hear the faint 
sound of a beetle in our '88 Westy, so I sure hope this is normal....


Maybe my sound vocab is offbase?
