Hi, I'm new here. Thanks in advance if you can help!

I just bought a S/H X5. 2002. 3.0 petrol. 120k miles.

It's as sweet as a nut but there's a weird noise coming from the top end.

It's intermittent. Seems to go away when the engine is hot.

But alarming! Any comments would be much appreciated!

Thanks, Norm

Hi Norm

Welcome to the Forum

Sounds like a Tensioner needs replacing possibly water pump but the tensioners are the place I would start

That’s a noisy bearing or tensioner as greydog said. Try different things like turn the AC on and off to see if there is any difference. Hopefully an easy one.! 
welcome to the petrol X5 world!
