Chirping sound at low RPM - what could it be?

Hi all,
I'#039m getting a bird chirping sound when I accelerate very slowly up to 2k rpm. It sounds like it'#039s coming from the right hand side of the car when in the cabin.
It only happens when I have my foot on the accelerator pedal, as soon as I let go, it stops. Doesn'#039t happen if it'#039s just rolling.
The sound is a lot more consistent when turning sharply

If I’m correct, you remove the panel on the left side of the drivers footwell, there is a little flap with a T20 screw behind it. Ones that panel has been removed, you should be able to see the motor about 6” up. It’s either held in by simple clips or by a 6/7mm screw.
I’m having a similar issue where my temp is only going to about 20 degrees and won’t go hotter. I’ve ch

As well as the above, the intake valves/ports can get gummed up with carbon due to the direct injection set up.
Injectors are a weak point causing misfires
I had an Edition 30 until 4 years ago, I also had issues with:
passenger door lock
ABS sensors and hubs (rear)
Intercooler hose fitting, required new hose
coil packs and plugs after rem
