Meanwhile let the dealer try to sort out the cause of that sound.

First i assumed it was engine knock, but then i ran a datalog with my open flash tablet (the car is stock map btw i havent touched the ecu) and the log showed no knock correction or anything i could point out that could be causing it.

I will try what you said however, waiting 3 days till its serviced and will report back here what happened.

Ill upload a video with the exact datalog + sound of in cabin so u can see all the finer details.
