now, come to think of it. my dad had a similar issue to this, happened regardless to wether it was hot or cold though..
turned out it was an idler pulley.

it can be mate, yes. it`s part of the cambelt assembly. if it fails completely the results could be catastrophic to your engine. it`s best you narrow your search down to actually find the noise. it might not even be the idler pulley.
