Scrape noise from engine

[VzVzVz]

I noticed about a month ago that my engine made this strange scraping noise when under throttle comming up to 3000rpm. I can only hear it breifly, but it doesnt sound good. When I accellerate up to 3000rpm in 2nd gear, it makes a 'shhhh' noise. It also does it when passing 2000rpm in a higher gear.

Any ideas on where to start looking?

check your pulleys. mine used to do that, then it quietned down and got worse now it does it all the time lol, both idler pulleys need replacing on mine.

Cool, I had a good listen under the bonnet at idle. It sounded like a pulley bearing shitting its self. I'll look into it.

Also check engine mounts sometimes when they get worn they make grinding/rattling noises under throttle lol

But what stumps me is the fact its only there at just under 3,000rpm and sometimes 2,000. I'm really hoping its not something to do with the variable valve timing.
