Why does my Mark II make noise when I start it?
There are different reasons as to why a car will make noise when you start the engine. However, knowing where the noise comes from will ease the task of find out the cause of the problem. FILE PHOTO
Hi Paul, thank you for the guidance you always given to motorists. I have a mark II grande 2003 model that has recently started making noise when I start it and the noise disappears when I drive for seven to 10 minutes. What is the problem?
Henry.
Henry, you would need to describe the kind of engine noise you hear and where its coming from for me to identify the possible cause. If it’s rattling above the engine, it will be the valve train area usually caused by poor lubrication due to delayed oil pressure build up.
Should the noise be under the engine or body when you accelerate then you can consider checking the axles, wheel hubs or transmission and exhaust pipe for leakages. Although exhaust related noises are usually persistent unlike this case when the noise ceases after a few minutes.
