"Clanging" noise from engine when cold
Does anyone else get a metallic "clanging" sound from the engine after starting up on cold mornings? I haven't heard this all summer, but now that the weather is cold, I hear it again -- mostly when accelerating from a start after sitting overnight. It seems like it would be hard to duplicate when I bring the car to the dealer (since the car's all warmed up by the time I get there), so I'm trying to get a better idea of what it might be. Thanks.

I also get the same thing. It's a metallic tack...tack....tack while the car warms up and then it goes away.
I have to bring my car in for a numer of issues in the coming days so thank's for reminding me!
