All diesels are louder ... you can soundproof the bonnet and probably the bulkhead. The rest will be hard due to all the pipework, etc.
Something that might help is an undertray that I think some of the higher spec cars might have. The fitting holes are there on our 1.4 HDi but I've not yet bothered to track down a tray to fit.

Have you got nothing under the bonnet? My HDi has a black sound proofing clipped to the underside of the bonnet.
But saying that my diesel is not too loud anyway....

I can supply the dampers for the covers and these ones don't break, have a look at my thread for details and all ask Rich he has a bought a set from me.
