Toyota :: 1999 - Grinding Noise On Cold Start

I have a 99 Toyota Tacoma 4 cylinder. Just reached 200,000 miles this past Sunday. I did a cold start this morning and there was a grinding, metallic noise from under the hood. I turned the key bafk because it didn't sound good. Turned the key again and it started like normal and ran fine. I had a new starter installed last Thursday and now I'm wondering where this noise is coming from. Before I changed my starter, I had the bad starter symptoms in the last two weeks, slow to crank over, the whining airplane noise (happened 3 times in the last 3 weeks). But now, this new grinding noise has me even more worried. Does my engine have to get used to the new starter and what other issues could this be? The battery passed the battery test at Autozone, and my alternator is fine as i unplugged the positive and negative wires from the battery while was truck was running. I really really like my truck and am trying everything in my power to keep it running as smoothly as possible.

Camry :: 2010 RAV4 2.5L - Grinding Noise At Cold Start

I recently had TSB 0146-10 ( grinding noise at cold start ) performed and my cold starts are even louder now. My dealer screwed it up 2 times and I have to return again due to this noise, leaking valve covers, and lots of metal filings found in oil and filter? It seems to me Toyota has a big issue with the VVT cam gear on this engine and wanted to post a video of my cold start?

My vehicle is a 2010 RAV4 with the 2AR-FE ( 2.5 ltr ).

This is after 2 cam gear replacements and the dealer confirmed this to be the sound of a bad VVT gear.

Golf/GTI VI :: Plastic Grinding Noise When Shifting From 1st To Second On Cold Days

I have been doing some research on why my 6sp MT makes a weird almost "Plastic Grinding" noise when shifting from 1st to second on cold days when it sits overnight. It has been getting under 40 degree that last couple days and it seems to go away after just a few minutes of driving. It only happens from 1st to 2nd. I have been told its normal and just because the trans fluid is thicker when cold.

Camry 2012+ :: Grinding Noise On Startup When Engine Completely Cold

I start noticing a weird noise upon cold start up. It sounds like something is grinding. First goes starter sound and then engine noise together with this grinding noise. Grinding noise goes away within sec. or so. It is not really loud, but it definitely not engine or starter sound.

It happens only on cold starts when engine is completely cold. If I start engine, let it run for few minutes, shut it down and restart again, it starts without grinding noise. Don't remember if car was doing it from beginning, never turned car while I was outside. Few weeks ago when temperature dropped below freezing point, I turned ignition through passenger door to warm up the engine.

After that I begun listening every start up. Every start up same noise. Every morning and every time after work I hear this noise. No noise if car been driven recently or engine is still warm.

Not my car, but sound is identical : [URL] ......

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: 2000 - At Start Up Grinding Noise

2000 GTI MK4 200,000 miles

I have had a grinding noise during engine start up for a few month but had no problem is engine starting up so left the grinding noise problem untouched.

About two days ago both lowbeam headlights blew up and left signal blinker on headlight lamp cluster didn't turn on while rear left blinker blinked at twice faster speed. At the same time I began to have starter motor stall while starting up the engine!

Wonder if this is a problem involving solenoid as well.

Golf/GTI VI :: Check Engine Light Flash / Grinding Noise When Rev Get Above 3k RPM

2010 GTI 6 speed. Bought used in Jan '11 w/ `6k miles on it

The past few mornings, from a cold start, my car has been running weird. There has been sort of a grinding noise when the rev's get above maybe 3k rpm and the Check Engine will flash, but then turn off once I shift and the revs are back down. The problem seems to go away once the engine is warm, and it seems to be worse the colder it is outside. It seems to have started last week after I hit a really bad pothole (the kind that makes you shed a tear for your poor car).

What the problem might be? I'm planning to take it to the dealer later this week (the problem seems to go away when the car is warm).

Passat (B6) :: FSI Engine Chirp Noise When Start The Car And Engine Is Cold

I have a 2008 FSI engine and I have a chirping noise when I start the car and the engine is cold. The noise goes away when the engine is warmed up. This noise has been like this for a very long time (more than two years) and I was not seriously concerned about this until I found the below video which has exactly the same noise.

The owner in the below video says that the timing belt and the belt tensioner had to be replaced and that his engine was only at 26K miles. I am at 46K miles right now but I definitely had this noise when I was around 20K miles as well.

Golf IV R32 :: High Pitched Noise On Cold Start

It's been pretty cold here and haven't started my R in 2 days at the most. I turned it over this morning and got this high pitched noise, like maybe a belt slipping or a bad bearing? The CEL flashed a few times then went away.

I couldn't stick around to check codes or inspect the bay, but what it might be?

Camry :: Sputtering Noise Come From Engine But Only After A Cold Start?

What would cause a sputtering noise to come from the engine but only after a cold start meaning starting in the morning and after work but goes away after I drive for a min or two and doesn't come back until the next morning or after work. It sounds almost as if say you had a hole in your flange and drove it around. Its really weird it happens a few times a week for the psst 2 weeks but hasn't happens ever before that. Could it be the water pump in its way out? Oil levels fine fluid wise everything topped off.

BMW :: 1999 - At Cold Start Strange Noise From The Engine

I have a 1999 BMW 3 series, 112K, 5 speed, immaculate condition, only full synthetic oil used. After a cold start - even today at 55 degrees - I get a strange noise from the engine compartment which gets louder according to RPMs. The BMW dealer replaced the oil separator for the motor ventilator and some of the respective hoses and valves associated with it. They also checked the oil pressure when the motor was hot and cold and advised it's fine; however, the noise is still there. (A different BMW dealer service advisor said, just after hearing it, it was an oil pump issue.)

On an unrelated note, when the motor is warm and I'm in stop and go traffic, the idle speed will sometimes go up and down (500 RPM - 900 RPM), and when it reaches 500 or so RPM, it dies. The car always starts back-up right away. Spark plugs are new and I used OEM BMW spark plugs. My thoughts are the idle air control valve.

Otherwise, the car is great; yesterday I took it on a 250 mile RT highway trip without any problems.

Caravan/Voyager :: Whistling Noise At Start Up When Engine Cold

We have a 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan and has a whistling noise when starting up? We are in Wisconsin and its damn cold. It only does it when its cold out. Once the engine warms up it goes away. But my wife is freaking out about it. I am thinking it might be something with the air intake but not sure.

Santa Fe (CM - 2007-12) :: Lifter Noise Upon Start Up When Engine Is Cold

07 Santa Fe 3.3 with 155k miles has lifter noise all the time. Much more pronounced in cold weather upon start up when the engine is cold. These miles are mostly highway and I change oil every 5-6k with Citgo synthetic blend. Is this just normal wear or could the engine be getting gummed up? I was thinking about treating the engine with some Marvel or Rislone but I really don't like putting solvents in my crankcase.

Camry :: Squeaking / Dry Bearing Noise On Cold Engine Start

My Camry 2grfe now has almost 60k miles and it started making a squeaking/dry bearing noise but it goes away after about 2 minutes of running. I was going to replace the serpentine belt when I get a chance, its a tensioner or a pulley bearing? Can the bearings in the tensioner or pulleys be replaced instead?

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: VR6 Won't Start When Cold - Engine Doesn't Crank

Okay so my 2003 Jetta GLI normally starts without a problem. But it seems like whenever it gets cold (below about 40) it doesn't even try to start. I turn the key and nothing happens, the engine doesn't crank. All the lights turn on like normal and they're not dim so I don't think it's the battery. It'll still start if I roll-start it, but there isn't any sort of hill for a few miles. Normally once it warms up later in the day it'll start up.
