  is your intake set-up tight and secure?
  

  
  Yes. It's not the source of the noise. Car came with that -- planning on replacing it with a stock airbox soon.
  
  Noise was GONE this past drive again. SEems to come and go.

  I'm running 10w-40 Rotella atm. Should I be running a lower weight?
  

  
  Most run 15w40 if conventional.
  
  I have a 1.6TD running 0w40 full synthetic. An AAZ running 5w40 synthetic, and a TDI running 15w40 conventional.
