*However*, good news, if yours is anything like mine, the noise has suddenly disappeared now (I'm over 2,100kms), doesn't matter what tank level I'm at. I'm hoping it's a breaking-in issue but so far so good, no more noise! If you are still breaking it in, I would advise maybe driving it more. If you must have it checked right away, make sure the techs don't take your baby on a joyride or better yet, drive it for them instead. Good luck!
Mine has 14,000 miles on it, so no nit breaking it in.

It's very annoying and loud enough to be heard while moving too : (

I'll report back later.

Thanks

David
