Noise At Start Up

[simon L]

Hi all

I have read quite a few post related to noise at cold start for 450H

Unsure if the other post are related to my issue so I would like to ask you all to see if you have experience the issue and what could be the possible cause and fix.

Yesterday was quite a hot day, i opened all the window before starting the engine, then once I press the brake and press the start button, I heard the starting noise.....

the way to describe the noise, is like having lots of beans from the bean bag and scattered over a thin sheet of metal......

thanks

Simon

perfectly normal will go off after a few mins

Yup, mine has done it for almost 170K miles, no worse now and still nil oil consumption, keep the window shut or turn the music up!

OK thanks all.....

I like the idea of close the window and turn up the music! Will do this from now on!! :-)
