Surely this is dodgy/illegal?
It gives appendix references so you would have to check those out for the conditions that apply to the PUMA statements. It does look a little suspect without seeing what's in the appendices.

I really hope the case 3 pops up in the UK PUMA, mine has to be chain noise, nothing on cold start but after about 2 min you can hear the swish swish becoming audible. Revved at a standstill yesterday and as the revs fall off there is a shhhhh sucking noise almost like an inlet manifold leak.

Considering getting this car RAC inspected.
