Is this a 1.8 C180 with the 271 engine? What mileage has it done? Is it noisy on tickover?
Excuse the questions, but these are not normally noisy engines, but could be if there was a problem.

You need to take it to a dealer for advice if you're concerned or listen to another similar car.

Mine is an M271 Petrol 180 Kompressor with 55k miles on the clock and it does not sound anything like that.
I can't imagine that the CGI Turbo would be any worst unless there's a problem there.

As it happens mines a C180 Petrol with 32,000 miles and its also noisy too. I've had mine at the dealers on their diagnostics for a software upgrade for the gearbox and they found everything to be OK too. It may just be the cold and the tappets, it sounds OK to me. My previous Honda Type R was louder when cold.

That looks like it is a 271 engine, not sure if its the 1.6 or 1.8 version, but it seems far too noisy to me and could have problems with the cam chain.
As others have said, get a second opinion and even get the cam covers taken off to examine the condition of the chain and gears as if the chain lets go or even jumps the teeth you could be in big trouble.

its intermittent knocking and as you can see at 24 secs it goes away can anyone suggest what it is

100% not right. Whichever garage said it was right avoid them for the rest of your car ownership. Hard to say from a YouTube video but it sounds like top end of engine. If it were me I'd be concerned about possible timing gear/chain issues especially the way it disappears after warming up. Do you get this noise re-appearing when engine is under load going up hills etc?
