I suggest you post this on www.vwaudiforum.co.uk

You need to explain what it is you think you are listening to. Regards Peter

I think I listened to what sounded like a Ferguson tractor engine with a hissing noise suggestive of drive belt/ancillary bearing malfunction.

I would concur, sounds like a relatively normal diesel noise but with a noisy auxiluary belt/tensioner.
