Hello
My wife's car makes strange noise on start up. It's got a fair few miles now and when you start it, there is this loud growling , roaring noise underneath. It lasts for about 3 or 4 seconds then stops .
Anyone have any wild ideas Or has the same noise?

Timing chain? If it's like a metallic rattle when cold for a short period could defn. be as it's a known issue with the OM651 diesel.
