Noises when cold

Kim · 01-25-2014, 12:50 AM

I'm wondering if anyone is hearing the same things I am. When I first start the engine and am just in the first 5 miles from home, I'm hearing sounds I can describe as something between a click and a chirp. I've turned the stereo off and fan down so I know it's not coming from those areas. I'm also getting the clock on the main screen for five seconds at a time then it switches to whatever Screen I happen to be using. I've got a service appt. but would like to hear from anyone having the same issues.

perhaps a Bomb?

check your batt voltage when your engine is off...anything less than 12.0 will yield false phantom alerts and odd behavior from the electronics......

Direct injection engine tends to produce a little more noise then non direct injection. You can expect a little more valve train noise in cold weather which should fade as the engine warms up.

do you have a z51 model? dry sump takes longer for the oil to warm up.

I have noticed a lot of engine noise when it is a cold start. This is Florida so outside temp does not really come into play.. As soon as it is warm, it stops
