Good afternoon.

Can you upload a video with sound of the noise?

Good video.

It does not sound good. It sounds like the lower end has an issue whether it is rod or main bearings.

Looks like a major repair coming your way. Sorry.

Appreciate your time. We have only just purchased the car less than four weeks ago from a dealer. We have had the navigation unit requiring fixing and now this problem. Seems this car is going to be to problematic and we might get our money back.
