Ive owned my cx3 since March 2018; car has been great and not an issue with it. Being one to have a bit of OCD and like things done right I've done an oil change at 1000, 5000, 10k, 15k km on it myself using oem oil and filter for the skyactive engine. For the 20k oil change ended up taking it to the dealer as weather did not allow to lay on the ground outside.
Got the car back and a few days past the oil change this horrid noise comes from the driver side engine area almost sounding like valve tick, or a messed up chain. Something I would not expect from a car with 20k km and less then a year of use. Oil level is fine and car drives fine however hearing that ticking/rattle doesnt leave me happy.

Was hoping if anyone has encountered a similar issue and had a resolution for it. I've made an appt with the dealer to get it looked at but their first available is not for 2 weeks and for some unknown reason they won't just have me leave the car there and be issued a loaner until its resolved.
Sidenote...is the foam pieces on the 2 sides of the air intake plenum meant to be left there or removed upon predelivery? Just noticed them this evening.. & yes its serpentine belt almost looks like its rubbed on something on half of it(again not expected on a 20k car)
