Start up VVTI rattle

[logo]

Hi, my 2013 ASV50 Camry has the VVTI cold start up rattle. The car runs and drives fine other than this noise. I'd like to hear from other ASV50 owners if their cars make the same sound and if it's ever caused any engine damage. I've searched the forum and it's mostly Aurion owners who have reported the noise. Thanks

If it is rattling on just about every cold start up, I would recommend that you go talk with your local Toyota dealership about a drive train warranty claim. Even if nothing is done make sure that it will be on record just ib case the worst happens.
