I am facing an issue of a rattling/grinding noise from engine left/lower side. Car is cultus 2006 non-efi and running on petrol. Inside cabin while driving it feels like exhaust leak noise when accelerating but noise from open engine bay is like metal grinding noise. I feel it more when I put my ear close to the timing belt cover.
One mechanic said it is from crank while one said it is from piston rod. I want to avoid unnecessary hit and try by mechanics and wish to have a proper diagnosis first. I have uploaded the video showing engine noise. Please have a look and advise. Thanks in advance.
