Pedal dance fault code???

I have been getting a few strange noises recently. I dont think theyre anything to worry about but thought I'd try the pedal dance and see if that came up with anything. I got the first 10 slow flashes, then I got three lots of 10 fast flashes then the slow 10.

 

Anyone know what this means. I can only assume that it means there are no error codes

 

This is the video. It starts at Just after 19 seconds.

Brilliant. I think the noise might be from the fuel damper, would that show up on the codes? It seems to be coming from the back one with the metal piping. It's a constant ticking noise that increases with the revs. I have a video which I'll load on here in a minute

Fuel damper making a noise won't throw a fault code.

 

Hard to say from the video can you kink the fuel hose and hold it with your fingers, see if it pulses in time with the noise.

 

Another thread on here recently had a simlar problem - a mech said it was nothing to worry about - any othe problems? Running rough smoking etc?

Havent tried kinking it. I held it between my fingers and it's hard to tell wether it's pulsing or just the vibrations from the engine.

 

Engine idles fine and has no issues when being driven. The revs drop ever so slightly if i open the windows but thats happened on most cars ive owned. One thing I've found that I'm not sure is an issue is the oil is slightly above the H on the dip stick. The oil has only recently been changed during the p3 service and it was a 5 litre bottle. From zmanalex so I imagine that's more to do with the bad design of the dip stick as opposed to being overfilled.

 

Sometimes get a burning smell if I boot it. Not sure what it is. It isn't clutch, I know that much. Oil pressure isn't high according to the guage. The smell only comes on hard acceleration, I don't get it at normal driving speeds.
