Hi all

My recently acquired 2011 C1 petrol is making a weird fluttering/clicking noise under acceleration. It sounds completely normal at idle or when revved in neutral, and the noise stops as soon as you lift off the accelerator.

There's a youtube clip entitled "Peugeot 107 2005 1.0 pertol, ticking noise, help!" with the exact same issue, but no-one seems to know what it is. In reality it's louder than it seems in the clip, really very annoying.

The car is warranted by the vendor for 6 months but if I could find a diagnosis and it was an easy fix I'd get it sorted and not bother faffing around with the seller.

Any help greatly appreciated!!
