hello, got a bit of a odd noise

 

When the car is running I get a chattering/ticking noise, linked with the engine revs.

 

I can`t hear the sound when i`m looking over the engine or from the rear of the car. It seems loudest on the driver side.

 

I checked the exhaust for leaks and it does have a couple of small leaks but I cant here the ticking from the leaks when i`m under the car...

 

so I`m a bit stuck on what to check next...

 

took a video of it

need to get a better video m8 .. but dose sound close to VTC rattle

 

do another vid if ya can from the front of engine bay

that`s the wired thing, you cant hear the noise from the front of the engine bay

its the chatter noise in the first few seconds of the video thats the issue

Does it still do it when you have the clutch pushed in?...
