Hi,
Had my FN2 for a couple of weeks but looking for some advice before my paranoia gets the better of me & my wallet....
When I start the car after a couple of days of it being on the drive there is a slight rattle for a split second (literally the blink of an eye). The rattle is very quiet and does not sound too aggressive. In my mind I am thinking that this is either lack of oil in the valve train for a split second as it has all drained to the sump due to being sat for an extended period of time or a similar thing for the chain tensioner. Oil draining from it back into the sump.
Anyone else got any experience of this? Please tell me I'm not going mad and having nightmares of chain replacement already.... As it's still a new car to me I am still at that untrusting stage. Every little noise is like "What was that?!?!"
PS. Oil level is on max line.
