Hi kvc,
Actually I bought a scanner long time ago because it was way too expensive to keep bringing my car to a shop for a scan every time I had issues. So, long story short... yes, it was scanned. My scanner cable lives in my glove box and I always carry my laptop, so I know pretty much all the errors she had since when I bought her.
There are no DME errors at all, not a single one, not CEL either. Nothing related to engine at least none reported by any module.
That's the weird thing. Car pulls very strong all the time and in high revs or above 3000 rpms you can't hear this noise. I don't know if it's because other normal noises are louder or what, but it's like that.
I opened the oil cap with the car off and tried to move or pull the chains from bank 1 (VANOS and timing one) with my fingers and there is not noticeable play.
I don't know if a noise like this can be caused by vacuum leaks, because when I start my car (cold) it doesn't sound like that at all. Just when it gets to op temperature.
So I'm out of clues and I don't want to buy and throw parts to it (timing chain, guides and stuff, plus labor) just to know it wasn't causing the noise.
