Hi
I have an 07 SE (manual transmission). I'm wondering if anyone who lives in cold climates has noticed a noise at startup on a cold engine when the temperature is below freezing (colder than -5C or so)?
The engine has to be cold (like sat overnight) and the outside temp has to be cold. Then at start when I turn the key, the engine starts fine, but as I release the key from the start to the run position I hear what sounds like the starter motor make a noise (short zipping sound). At first I wondered if it might be slow to disengage, but if that shouldn't make a noise because the gears should be meshed ok? Any thoughts appreciated. There is no noise with a warm engine, or with a cold engine on a mild day.
