Citroen DS3 1.6 BlueHDI - DS3 Making a periodic scraping noise - Owen Tooley

Hi,

Just had a new tyre fitted today and since the I've noticed my car making a periodic scraping noise when idling, sounds like something is scraping against something else thats rotating, weird to describe but its coming from the drivers side of the engine bay (it was drivers side front tyre that was change if thats relevant). Any ideas what it might be?

Video of the noise here: drive.google.com/file/d/1KHeJnXJS9hm35B59sjL_uX8v8...g

Thanks!

Is it possible that the plastic under tray has been dislodged and fouling on the engine pulley , when the car was jacked up for tyre fitting?

That was my thought or the wheel arch liner.

The standard plugs which hold the wheel arch liners in place on Peugeot and Citorens are really poor.
