    Lift the bonnet, and turn the key to the normal position (without
    turning the engine over) and listen. Does it sound like it's coming
    from just behind the radiator?

    I had a loud rasping sound as described above on my 306 for a short
    while. IIRC, the Peugeot mechanic said it was a bi-metallic strip in
    the diesel pump. He said it wasn't causing any problem, and as my car
    wasn't covered by a warranty at the time, it didn't seem worth
    spending money on it. The noise went away after a few months.
