I recently bought an 07 aurion sportivo, and noticed it was making a rattling noise at cold start up. I took it into service at Toyota and they reported that it was the lock pin, which was causing the vvti to not engage until a certain oil pressure. I had 3 months dealer warranty and took it back to the dealer (not a Toyota dealer) and they first did nothing because they didn't hear the problem. Then they sent it to a Toyota dealer. They currently have the car and have said that they are just flushing the engine which will unblock anything that is blocked. Which is pretty pointless. Any ideas?
