had an 8p a3 cr170 for a few weeks and with the engine cover i have discovered this tapping noise, you can hear it over the ticking noise which i assume is the injectors, just wanting to know if its normal? tia

When does the noise occur? I'e when engine is cold or warm? 

What's the mileage on the car? 

140k and tbf ive never fully checked, but that was after a motorway drive of about 60 miles, i think it does do it cold too, but id have to check.

Listening to the video there seems to be a slight whine noise too. The tapping does seem loud, but it's definitely worth checking to see if it happens when engine is warm.
