Noisy cold start

Unread post by Wewe102 »

2020 Citroen C5 Aircross 1.5 Bluehdi, lately been making this noisy when cold starting it. Is this related to the infamous 7mm timing chain premature wear thing or is it something else? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the forum.

Can you record the sound as a video and post it on YouTube? Then post the URL of your recoding here so we can listen to it?

What oil exactly are you using? How many kilometres has the vehicle done?
