   Been hearing this noise for several weeks now but no where near as bad as in these videos ive uploaded. Drove the car today and this noise has suddenly gotten seriously loud. Any idea what this is? Seems to be coming from the engine or the throttle body inlet area. The noise seems to go when in neutral.
   cheers in advance.
   
   I know why my air bag and engine management light is on but the battery light keeps flickering on and off and i think thats the oil light on too? I may have an oil leak also.
   
   
   
   sorry for this one being upsde down.

   Well you mentioned a possible oil leak, and if it does get that low, then YES! and cause serious damage the entire time.

    sounds very much like no oil. Had a clio in the other week like this, if you keep it going it will get louder and louder and start self distructing. The oil needs to be of sufficient height for the oil strainer to reach it, otherwise the pump wont suck any oil.

    Well seeing as he said the ECU light is on and airbag light is on which is common. Handbrake lights on....well im guessing his handbrake is on. And oil light, guess his oils low if thats on maybe why its noisy...

    Why do people not check the basics before making videos etc.
    
    If you have the EML on, get the fault codes read and the issue sorted before trying to guess other things.
    
    Always check things like the oil level when you hear odd noises from the engine, although you should be checking it regularly anyway.

    Yes!!!
    
    And your oil light is on!
    
    You have Hydraulic lifters on that so they need oil to work, without out it they will tap like mad.
    
    And so will your engine!

    15-W40 will do for now, DON'T drive it until you out oil in it!
    
    But before you do make sure it is the oil, use the dip stick and check it, it should in the middle of full and low.

    Could already be buggered mate, top it up with oil anyway but if the noise doesn't go then it may be new engine time.

    a full service wont fix it. if the noise is still there once the oil is topped up, you will have done damage. how bad is hard to say, but you havent gotten away with it

    You've got an electronic oil level check that shows up on the clock dial when you start the car. Even if you're slack with checking the oil visually (well via the dipstick), there's no real excuse for allowing the engine to be low on oil.
    
    Engine is fucked though even it is sounds better, the oil is just damping the noise out now.

    Thats funny because on my R reg saxo I changed the clocks & when I switch on get an orange symbol on the dash(like a walking stick)flashes for about 5 secs & the oil level is fine btw.

    Put some fresh oil in and run it for a week or two... You'll sharp tell if it's gonna fuck
    
    Tbh you may have been lucky and the lifters were just dry but the big ends may not have suffered too much damage
    
    Normally when the big bearings have gone there will be a notable loss of power, and dropping more oil in won't silence it

    thats fine to have a rant mate, i admit ive been a total twat about this. im going to check the brakes now. As for the warning lights, the engine management light and air bag light had already been on for a while and i know the reasons behind them. As for the oil light, i just never got round to sorting it out, and now i may have left it too late. Tbh i expect most of you guys to have a rant and slag me off lol. but thanks to everyone for the suggestions and help

    mine is sorta like this but nowhere near as bad, i cant hear it when in the cabin only if i get under the bonnet . sounds a bit like a diesel on acceleration on low revs, should i top up with oil then? its still inbetween max and min marks so i dont see why it would be this though i thought saxo's just sounded a bit rattly anyway

    My suggestion would be to buy a louder exhaust.

    i did a search on youtube earlier to look for similar problems to me and majority of comments are saying things oil related and spark plugs. My oil was low and my spark plugs are shagged so im hoping replacing the spark plugs will sort everything out + a good service.

    I suggest you check your tyres as well.

    You dont deserve a VTS
    
    ... only joking , but to avoid the shit on here, id recommend learning the basics first like not ignoring the low brake fluid warning light, low oil warning, high oil temp...
    
    I once killed an engine like this, but i did it on purpose cos it was a corsa

    You may be lucky and a set of new lifters may be all you need but wait and see what they say when they look at it.
