Hi
I have noticed during the last few days I get a strange noise coming from the engine area. It is only when the engine is cold and the fan heating is turned on inside. It lasts about 5 minutes and gradually fades away.
I have had a peek in the engine bay a few times but failed to locate or pin point the sound. I have also tried searching through the forum to find similar sounds but to no avail. My guess is it is the belt tensioner but I may be wrong. I sprayed a bit of belt lube I had and it went away for a day but came back the next day again.
The car is 2009 w212 e250 cdi with 55k on the clock.
Here is a video

You will hear the rattle of the engine cover as well which is another gripe I have an have not been able to sort it yet.The sharp metallic sound which is bothering me.
Thanks for all your help
