Hi,

First, this vehicle isn't offered in the US, but I will try my best to help.

I listened to your video. I do hear something that sounds like it could be related to one of the belt-driven accessories. Because I'm not familiar with this vehicle, I'm not sure if it has one drive belt or more. However, it may be a good idea as a test to remove the drive belt and see if the sound changes.

Try that and let me know if the sound changes or goes away.

Take care,

Joe
