Engine rattle - 2019 Q5
Hello,
I'm hearing a metallic-sounding rattle. This happens only on a cold start when the engine starts to idle, and when it reaches idle, the noise is gone. See video, 7 seconds in. Car only has 20,000 KM. Wondering what it might be - tensioner, timing belt/chain? Maybe this is normal - only way to tell would be to hear what happens with another similar model Q5. I'm taking it the dealership, car under warranty. Would appreciate your thoughts. Hope it's nothing alarming.
