On pressing throttle I get a noise from the fuel filter area. Unsure if it's actually the filter. But changing it as a precaution hasn't fixed it. Happens at various revs and seems to be louder at higher rev ranges. Also occasionally happens when revs dropping back to idle when engine under no load. Anyone got any ideas or heard of this before?

Mine does exactly the same, getting it checked out this week. Will let you know what I get told, is yours a kind of rattley noise?

I suppose it could be described as "rattley", but kind of high pitched?

Check the black plastic top engine cover isn't vibrating by putting your hand on it at various points and revving the engine. It's only pushed on and the plastic lugs wear particularly the single one on the battery side of the engine.

No I've been under the bonnet with the engine cover off, & it's not that. It does sound more like a "popping/squeek" sound from the filter area.

Do you reckon it could be the duel mass flywheel failing? The car is a little "lumpy" when starting up.

Just had another good look around & noise seems to be coming from a "sensor" mounted to the bulkhead. Looks like a couple of thin vacuum pipes going to it. Anyone know what this is?
