I've just purchased a BMW 1 Series and I noticed that the engine is making a strange sound when I start it up. It's a clattering noise that goes away after a few minutes. Is this something to be concerned about? What could be causing this and how can I fix it?
ReplyIt's always best to have a mechanic take a look at your car if you hear any unusual noises. However, in this case, it's likely that your engine is just warming up and the sound is coming from the valves. Once the car reaches operating temperature, the sound should go away.
Make sure you are using the right type of oil for your BMW 1 Series. Using the wrong oil can lead to engine noise and potential damage. Refer to your owner's manual for the recommended oil specifications.
Another common cause of strange engine noises is a loose belt. Check the belts under the hood and tighten or replace them if necessary.
