Recommended Posts

Got the horrible noise on startup on my 08 Grande as well!

Scared the crap out of the Mrs one morning ....

Happened 1 week before the warranty expires! Geez ...

Dropped the car down today at the service centre ... they want it for the week

Fingers crossed it'll be sorted ..

Else ... a car hunting we go!

Thanks for the information guys

I had the same noise, I recorded it on my phone and played it back to the Service Rep who said 'Oh that noise'. Just got the car back after a week and so far so good. As above the problem was not enough oil in the cam gears on startup. The VVTI cam gears have been replaced. All done under 3 month used car statutory warranty :D .

The Service Rep said that they were getting some money back from Toyota Aus for this one so even if you are out of warranty you may not be out of luck.

Slightly off topic I got State Roads (would recommend) to do an end of warranty inspection and all they found was and oil leak from the Timing case.

Just an update from me. Despite my local Toyota needing the car longer than at first thought (Wednesday til Monday) my noise on startup has now gone :yahoo: and I am very happy with Service Centre staff and how they dealt with this issue.

What I did find funny was that after the repair, and Nudge Bar mounting stud replacement that the Service Centre staff were proactive about doing, I received the letter from Toyota Head Office about the recall Customer Service Excercise relating to this. :whistling:

Toyota wants customer feedback from just about every customer they can get contact details for. Regardless of parts/service/new car sales.
