Toyota Avensis 1.8 vvt enigine noise

Hi people,

 

I am looking after my sisters 1.8vvti avensis (07 plate) while she is on holiday, i am fully insured to drive her car as we share it from time to time.

 

I was driveing it tonight and decided to give it some bean to see if i could spot when the VVTI kicked in and sure enough it did but then i heard a whiney noise so stopped accelerating. I pulled the car into the drive and even on idle its making a ticking noise.

 

I have checked the oil leveland everything is fine there and i have had warning lights come on the dash.

 

My sister car is still under Warranty so i will be taking it into Mr T but just wondered if any of you guys have any idea what it could be.

 

The engine has 22,000 on the clock so still early days for anything major i reckon.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

 

Brads

Sorry my mistake, that was supposed to read "there are no warning lights coming on" .

 

I will put up a video of the said noise.

 

I called Mr-T this morning and they have me booked in for Tuesday, the chap at the Workshop listened to the sound via my phones loud speaker and said it was pretty hard to tell, but it might be an injector malfunction.

 

I shall get a video up for you guys soon as.
