Hey guys...

i have been having an issue with my Corolla Levin ZR 2008.

Every morning on cold start a loud noise would come about.... when i say loud... its bloody loud enough to wake my baby daughter.

The annoying thing is...it only happens on the 1st start of the day. in other words... if you turn the car off then start again... the noise will not come back till the next cold start.

i have recorded the sound have have posted up on youtube

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0tNiKeR-6w

also annoying the the fact i have left the car overnight at dealership for them to hear the noise... twice they have claimed not to hear anything out of the ordinary???... FYI the dealership now has a copy of the video.

now don't get me wrong... the dealer i take the car too is great and i have no issues with them... they have tried many things to fix this...

at first they assumed it was the belts causing this... so they have tightened, loosened etc... no luck... they have replaced air compressor assembly... no luck.

what else can be causing awful sound?

I have exactly the same issue with my s2000.

Has got the same sound only when the car is totally cold, become normal rest of the day.

I thought it was something inside the valve but has no chance to see it before i sold the car.

I know how annoying it is, good luck mate.

it's is very annoying. If it is in fact an engine issue how would they fix it? Replace the engine?

LOL i thought i was the only one that had this issue..

I had the same problem. it only happens once on cold start and yes it is bloody annoying.

did everything i could, replace belts, belt tensioner even replaced to thinner engine oil but its still the same.

>> Its your chain tensioner inside the engine (or timing chain). lol the mechanics replaced mine and morning starts are just lovely.

Go to a mechanic with good experience..

I hope this helps.

Now I am wondering if its worth putting my time and money into doing this certain make n model up or should I just buy a different car to do up? I am not very car-inclined so I really don't know a lot. Any opinions would be very helpful Thankful!

      Android auto

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.
