I have this noise also. It only happens when the motor is at idle 650 RPMs. It does not get any louder or I can't hear If I rev the motor. Driving around it seems fine, but if I stop and open the hood and I am at idle I can hear the noise.

I think I know what OP is talking about. Only happens when cold and after the initial warm up dance is over and the car has settled to idle. Engine temp is still low. A quick blip of the throttle makes the sounds happen but only under about 1,000 RPM. Anything above that and the noise is not there.

Yea, go figure, the sound isn't there when I want to record it. Oh well, I think it's a non-issue

Evil Jesus · 01-23-2014, 03:22 AM

It's only happened to me about 4 or 5 times.

sweetfrs · 01-23-2014, 03:44 AM

I certainly hope not!

I wouldn't imagine that's it's the end of the world but it may be something to bring up with the service department. Though I'm sure all you'll get out of them is, "Well we can't replicate it so it's normal."

Cars do weird quirky little things all the time, especially this car. It just seems worse when it's your new vehicle and not a 10 year old hunk-o-junk.

Xabiss · 01-23-2014, 06:33 PM

Well it seems like a lot of people seem to have heard there motor doing this so I am not going to worry about it. If an engine had a knock that was bad wouldn't it create a CEL light to come on?

ya your right, and it only has 6000 km on it

Aaand of course I haven't heard it since I posted. Even if I did I would only whip out my phone to take a video, wouldn't do anything about it.

AllStar0419 · 01-25-2014, 08:00 PM

I've heard knocking when my car was idling in less than 10 degree temperatures Both times it was before the car was warmed up and the knocking went away when the engine reached normal temperature. Here are 2 videos I took, one from inside and one from outside with the hood open. Is this the same as yours?
