FN2 FN2 (K20z4) Rough Noise mostly when cold

Messages

Hi Guys,

I've tried to get an answer on the Facebook forums buts the issue still isn't fixed so thought I'd ask here:

I've got a 07 FN2 Type R, bone stock, on about 69k miles. Pretty much every morning (or any other very cold starts) it makes an awful grinding sort of sound for about 30seconds to a minute and then it completely goes, replaced with an intermittent pulley-like noise.
See video at https://streamable.com/2si72 and https://streamable.com/ugu1q , also notice the spark toward the end.

Since this video the car has had a new PCV Valve, New Idler Pulley, New Idler tensioner & Pulley and new Aux belt, to no success.

TGM can't look at it till the 7th and not sure it's going to last that long as it's my only car. Hopefully someone can pinpoint the issue and I can get the local garage to sort it.

Any help massively appreciated!

Hi, oil & filter changed recently and levels ok ? My track EP3, if left for several days and is cold, rattles on start up, because the oil has completely drained into the sump from all the compoments - so next time when the engine is cold remove the injector plugs (under the silver I-VETC cover) and turn the engine on the key until oil pressure light goes out, reconnect injector plugs and restart - no noise its something to do with a component running/drain dry of oil...

Although listening again it sounds like an ancilliary and not the engine maybe

:lol:
My pet hate on threads, no follow up and no answers,
I post updates even if I'm talking to myself, nothing worse googling car troubles, find a forum with the same issue and halfway through the thread the OP does one
 
The squeal has become so unbearable that OP has decided to put himself out of this misery and end his life. VTEC has claimed yet another life. RIP
