Default Re: What’s this noise?
The lost 10mm socket bouncing around in the valve cover. But seriously, check the oil fill cap is tight and see if the noise is louder with the oil fill cap temporarily off at idle. Also check the dual mass flywheel is not coming apart (per https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yO2RpLrd48c) and the alternator mount is not lose (per https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9TDHevZgQU). Or even timing chain per https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7W5AfL6uCyg . Or even diesel knock from a failed injector per https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcQ4wK8yncA and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-f-Xy6MOlK0 and https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Vi_xb_NYFmw etc
