ah yes, one of the many offerings americans miss out on again. the diesel civic was built so well, it is hard to tell the difference from a gas powered civic since there is no visible pollution and no extra engine noise. on a nice summer day, the diesel version can easily get 65+mpg and has a whole lot of torque in the lower rpms (138hp and 250 ft/lbs!).

op, the noise could be coming from the engine. i know diesels tend to do this as they age. i am not sure if posible to get, but many diesel owners have been very happy using fp-60 diesel fuel additive from www.lubecontrol.com maybe worth asking if they can ship some to you.
