Engine buzz after service

Post by JPB » Tue Jan 02, 2018 8:53 pm

I just had an inspection 2 service done on my 3.0i before Christmas and now I've noticed my engine is buzzing. I had all new oil filters and spark plugs, usual stuff.
You can hear it in this video here: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id= ... vvfAAic7Hb
Any ideas? Should I be worried?

It drives fine, and feels a bit nicer and smoother than before, but the buzzing is odd and wasn't there before (I don't think!)

I Can't get the video to play
It could be where a cover was removed and has not been fitted correctly. Can you pin down where the noise is coming from.

Ah good shout, I'll check it out tomorrow. Sounds like it's coming from around the engine area.
