Engine cranking/startup noise (merged threads)
#767
Werd, so what I'm gonna do is let my car sit for several hours at at a time and record it....in 720p. That way if they can't recreate it, I can say hey! Argue with this crystal clear footage!

well i took mine in last week for this issue, i had the video on my phone, and my dealer was really awesome. They fixed it no question and gave a fail hybrid as a loaner. Now if i could just get rid of this horrible whistling at low rpms from my intake i will be ok.

I just got my CPO '08 350 back last week for this same issue. The noise first started out randomly maybe once or twice a month, then once a week, then every morning when i'd start the car especially if it was cold. My SA knew exactly what I was talking about but said they had to replicate it to fix it. Kept it one night and the next am sure enough it rattled so they fixed it (under standard warranty cuz i'm not out of that yet) and I haven't heard the horrid noise since.
