Pretty sure they ain't though. So a sound effect I suspect. It just annoys me..... Last edited by Gripped; 04/12/2019 19:58.

Way beyond my means	Originally Posted by Nigel That will probably be the 1-litre 3-pot engine - half of a V6 so the basic engine harmonics are similar Yeah I did think of that, but it still sounds a bit too smooth for a 3 pot. They usually sound more 'rorty.' Happy to be corrected though. Drove a 3 pot Ibiza turbo recently and it did sound quite good, but more of a thrum than smooth.

The engine was as rough as a badger's arse until 4-5000 revs. Horrible thing, various twin pot Citroens I have owned have been smoother. 16VT and X1/9 1500 We must all do our part for the planet. I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using.
