However, in the last few days something concerning has started intermittently when at idle. There seems to be a knock of some sort coming from the engine. Again, I know this could be absolutely anything but I am wondering if owners have encountered similar symptoms on the way to something more severe.
The car is booked in next Friday so I may get an answer from the dealer.
Thanks

you have a GDI engine which injects fuel into the combustion chamber like a diesel , this requires a high pressure fuel pump on the top of the engine which can make a clattering noise .
