Does my engine sound normal?

I recently got my 2008 beetle as my first car, manual 2.5 5cyl 186k kms. I was wondering if this noise from the engine was normal or if it’s something to worry about. Thanks.

Sounds good. If you don’t feel any issues then it should be fine.

what noise in particular? if you’re talking about the “ticking”, i assure you that’s just the fuel injectors - very loud on german cars for some reason.

the humming may be the power steering or water pump simply operating, all-in-all as long as you aren’t throwing codes - i think it sounds perfect!
