Sound on idle
I know these engines make a lot of noise but I’ve only just discovered what sounds like a tapping/tinning sound coming from the left side of the engine (passenger side) and is noticeably louder when parked up next to a wall or a car is next to me. You can hear it in the background. Sound odd or am I just being paranoid? Oil level is fine and still drives great…

it’s difficult to tell , to me it’s not sounding that loud , is the car running ok , when you rev it are you getting a bit of bottom end rattle , have you a leaking exhaust gasket , does the noise get quieter when its warmed up , it can sometimes seal a small exhaust leak when every thing warms up and expands , any whooshing boost leak noise , last oil change done when or is oil fairly fresh , is there enough oil in it , had a car at work eml came on , it was a knock sensor , oil was low but no light on , topped up oil been fine since , the engines can be a bit noisy any way 👍
