The best I can describe it is a kind of whooshing/sucking sound with a kind of metallic/tinny sound, almost scratchy and bitty...
This is most obvious at low revs at low speeds. It seems to increase with the throttle, but if I'm driving and lift off the gas the noise is completely gone (or not possible to hear).
At idle, I can very faintly hear the noise. If I just feather the throttle I can hear it also, but any more than that at idle and I can't hear it.
So it sounds like something making the noise at a low level, but under load gets louder. I don't think it's a heat shield. It almost sounds like it could be a tensioner pulley noise or something.
Anyone have a similar issue or could suggest what it might be..?
Thanks
