Hope you guys can give me a hand here, I'm trying to pin down a sound coming from my engine bay. I've had it for quite a while but it's come to my attention after starting my engine while the hood was open after an oil change as opposed to already having the engine started. Stethescope on the way! But in the current situation I'm not holding my breath for the delivery and thought I'd give the forum a shot.
I'm no mechanic but im pretty sure i know what direct injection is supposed to sound like but in this case it seems like there is a noise distinct from the injectors coming from the engine. The sound begins about 2 seconds after starting the engine and when I rev it stops until the revs drop back closer to idle again. I've linked a youtube video since it's so hard to describe the sounds I'm hearing and in the video I'm revving to try and show the distinction between what I think is regular engine sounds and the noise.
Maybe related but it seemed like my engine block moves back and forth a lot during startup, could the noise be caused by a bad engine mount or it being improperly installed? I've had one replaced under warranty a few months back. I will post a video of the engine starting soon so you guys can compare the movement with your own.
Many thanks in advance.
