(Sounds expensive..)
I noticed over the last few days, in this cold weather, when i first start the car I get a rattling noise at idle, from the belt/chain end of the engine.
It's only at idle, and it's only when the engine is cold.
I've never heard chain rattle, so I don't know, but aren't they supposed to rattle when the engine is hot?
I am really hoping its the damper on the belt sticking in the cold...
Any ideas?
