Well those engines tend to be noisy as long as it doesn't burn oil and runs okay I'd live with that. But if it's too loud have a mechanic check the valve adjustments


Thanks

Does your Captiva have the 1991cc VM Motori diesel engine?

Most diesel engines are tractor like when they idle. Is yours abnormally loud? 


Steering wheel shakey and sometimes when im reversing theres loud noise like wheels are locked


Can you make a YouTube video of the noise & post the link here? When does your steering wheel shake? At what speed? When you brake?


Yes its a 2ltr turbo charge


Its only shakey on idling


If you’re steering wheel is shaking only at idle, I’d start with checking all your engine & transmission mounts.
