Weird Noise On Startup
My car has been making a weird grinding? noise when I press the start button, but it was not that often and the car started up fine so I just thought it was something stupid.
However, going to work all this week when the car is cold the noise is so loud and it wont start first go.
Hard to describe the noise - a bit like a loud drill or fan? Sounds like its comin from the drivers side.
Any ideas?? Am hoping its somethin cheap to fix
Car is 1.6 dynamique many thanks xx
At a guess, it sounds like the starter motor is on its way out. Especially if the noise always stops after the car has started.
Probably not that cheap, but not catastrophic either.

It would make me a bit nervous that they make a point about so called timewasters asking for refunds.
If the part isn't as described or doesn't work then they have to offer a refund and take the item back.
Still, if they insist the item is genuinely working, then it should be OK?

Haha.. When I first started to have this problem, the grinding noise on startup would never happen when my meg was parked outside on our drive (its sloped!). But it would usually always do it when I was finishing work and on any flat surface. Im sure my OH used to think I was hearing things because it would never do it when he was there at home!! Its VERY weird to say the least. In the end though, it did the noise on start up no matter where it was, even after standing for just 30 mins
Hope this isnt the start of dephaser pulley for you walibe I really do!!
