Noise on startup...

EVLXGE · 28-03-2011, 04:34 PM

After turning the ignition on just before the engine catches ive noticed a slight clunk sound. Its just a split second before it catches, engine doesnt seem to be taking any longer to start though.

Cant recall hearing it before. Any idea what it could be before I visit a dealer?

Starter motor related?

Ive only had the car 4 weeks so it may well be that its normal and has been doing it before, maybe I just havent noticed it.

Thanks in advance.

Most probably SMG pump priming noises.

Nothing to worry about then I guess.

Its only 4 weeks since it was given the once over at Thorney and all was A ok then.

In that case it should be fine then.

Thats what I thought. Was just concerned I might have done something. Over-revving it or such like. Cant think when I would have though.

Is it even possible with SMG. or does the box not allow you to change down?

I had an Exige a few years ago so im im used to hearing a noise and wondering whats going to fall off next....

You can't over rev it.

Maybe just take it to garage again and get it checked out.

Thought as much. Ill stop worrying then.
