Strange noise from DSG on cold (Video included)

Hi All,

Last week I took purchase of a 2010 2.0 TSi DSG Scirocco the face lift version. 68k miles on the clock for a decent price. When it starts up cold in the morning the first change from 1st to 2nd (and 2nd to 3rd) seems to have a slight grinding or spinning noise from the right hand side of the engine, this only happens when putting the foot down and getting revs to 3k ish. After 30 seconds the noise has gone and the car is perfect for the rest of the day. The DSG box seems to be responsive and was given an oil change last year.

It almost sounds like a belt that isn't lubricated enough on cold?

Any ideas? I'm going to try and take a video tomorrow and upload it.

Here is the video. I'll try to take a better one tomorrow. It sounds like a rattlesnake!

Maybe the synchro rings of the dsg or a wheel bearing?
Or a brake disc that is stuck?

Not sure tbf, not a wheel bearing and doubt it will be a brake disc, I'm guess its either the chain tensioner (common problem) or possible synchro rings. I've got it booked in at the garage this week so they can take a look. Here's another video:
