    Started my V reg 306 HDi this morning about to set off for work and
    after about 30 seconds the cars running noise actually changed from a
    normal sound to a very loud dull (bad boy exhaust) noise as I set off.
    It is a little frosty and damp this morning but I've never had this
    before anyone got any ideas?

    I've only just had a full service so...

    I have had about two\three turbo pipe replacements so far (had car
    about 4 years now) so it could well be that it seems to be a common
    fault. I have to say though that it actually sounds like the exhaust
    but I did notice a slight underpowered effect when I was driving it..
