Hey guys and girls.
Pretty sure this will have been raised before but just wondering if many have had/solved this issue.
I have a 2007 fn2. And upon a cold start I get a 2 second grinding noise. No issues with starting just the embarrassing noise.
Hear a few people suggest the starter motor may not be disengaging as it should. However, I've seen others which indicate the VTC filter may need cleaning/replacing.
I can see where the filter is but don't want to remove anything I shouldn't be to be honest.
Seems to dissappear for a few days after an oil change so I'm leaning more towards the VTC than the starter motor.
Could someone/anyone instruct on how I can gain access to the filter please.
Thanks in advance guys and girls.
Drive safe.
Rob.
