Sounds about like most healthy freshened up Rabbit/Jetta diesels I've seen really carefully freshened or some with under 30K on them from my memory (my memory is getting dim), just more of it (6 holes).

Sounded terrible pulling the cold start lever forward, like...alarming.
Should sound pleasing, not alarming, yet louder than a gasser.

Don't know, I got some from Sean Watts / Hessian Imports (for Monark Nozzles)
