Title: Noise when starting car...
Post by: Dogg on 29 May 2011, 13:09

Hey all..

I have a noise coming from car when I start it up (only when cold though)..

Think it is from starter motor, its like a short noise of something rubbing  :undecided:

Anyone had this or know what it is please, its really bugging me now.
