It might help to know what model & engine type?

[kylelcfc]

It's a TDI VRS 2014.

Does the noise get faster with revs?

off the top of my head no, but i'm not certain on it..

 

Whatever the issue is do you think it will be covered by skoda?

[Ootohere]

If there is a faulty component or manufacturing issue causing the noise and it can be identified then the Manufacturers Warranty should be covering the cost of putting the fault right, parts and labour, and even the diagnosing of the fault.

Best ask at a Skoda Dealership to have a Technician listen to the noise and see if they know the source and if it is a fault,

or if they suck in making a similar noise and say ' they all do that'.

Is it there all the time or only when cold?

[kylelcfc]

It's only when cold

[kylelcfc]

Right still unsure what it is . Do I just turn up to a dealership and have them look there and then or book it in?

[Telboy5]

If dealers fairly local, would be worth dropping in whilst it's making the noise and then booking in if necessary for further investigation,..

From my very limited knowledge - it almost sounds like tappets caused by lack of lubrication when the engines cold and oil's drained to the bottom. Explains why it disappears when warm.

UPDATE - The dealers are telling me they can't hear anything.

 

The noise happens every morning without fail and they are saying that the technician fails to hear any noise at all? That noise to me is obvious and isn't normal.

I'm quite sure it's the auxiliary belt you're hearing. No biggie:)

Alternator clutch, normal.

If it helps, I drive an Insigina SRI as my job car and that has an identical noise on startup - never had any issues from it. Its been serviced recently by our workshops and no issues were reported with it.

...but I might feel differently if it was a car I owned.
