Should my engine sound like this....(video)

[ED30_jase]

Hey guys I know the tapping is the direct injection but whys the hissing to the left that sounds like misses Hubbard is biking by?

I've checked the DV and its a revision G? Is this any good? Also removed the dipstick and it ticked over lumpy?

Any help appreciated

Cheers

Oh so this is a normal noise? and nothing to worry about?

Cheers for the help guys! this forum is invaluable!

Yes cold engine,  disappears when warmed up. Yes next Cam belt change, get the tensioner changed and that'll cure it.


Removing the dipstick will make it run lumpy, a faulty pcv causes lumpy idling , and if by pulling out the dipstick wouldn't make any difference   

Your just de stabilising crankcase pressure by removing the filler cap or pulling the dipstick, which will upset the manor in which the engine stabilises it's idle.

Yep cambelt tension, mine did this before cambelt change. All good now.

That's a bit soon really isn't it?  can it be adjusted without actually replacing it all to try and cure it?

there not the most attractive sounding engines are they

I am glad someone answered this, as my own ED30 started doing this only this week, I kind of guessed it was possibly cambelt or a tensioner, its getting done in May anyway on its 4yr anniversary

I'm quite anal with servicing tbf.  If anything was being changed, fore it would have to be full cambelt kit again.

I'm not sure what the noise I'm getting now is I'll get a vid

Mine sound like that too...is it a big job to do as my cambelt is not due for another 30k
