Clio engine rattle - any knowledgable people?

[Hackney]

I've been sent a video of my great aunt's relatively new clip engine making a sound best described as like when you put a lollipop stick in the spokes of a push bike.

Not a great clip but the sound is coming from the gap directly behind the radiator filler cap.

I could send it by text (if you dm a number) but can't attach here. Sorry.


It's a 2012 Petrol engined model.

Based on the video clip I have (should have made clear, I'm in England and the car is in Belfast so all I have is the video clip) Because I have an interest in cars any car related question gets passed to me, even though I'm no mechanic!

I don't think it can be the fan. Assuming the fan on a Clio is at the front of the engine bay, this is further back and into the depths of the engine.

Best I can do is add a screen shot or two from the clip and hope they help.



The noise appears to be coming from in there

Apologies again for my lack of technical knowledge.
