Start up noise
I am noticing a noise similar to lifters tapping on cold start, but it isn't the lifters. That is closest way I can describe it. It disappears after a few seconds and only returns when the car has been sitting an hour or so.

Is anybody else with this engine experience anything similar?

So is it normal, or something I need to get checked out?

if so, look at my threads for the 276 engine.
No it's definitely not an internal engine noise. It is like Faris63 described noisy fuel injectors or the fuel pump trying to prime up. I'm new to the engine platform and wasn't sure if it was a normal occurrence or not.

The noise can be embarrassing coming from a car like this, but if it is normal I can live with it.

what you here is the chain slap because the chain tensioners have bled down, and are being pressurized with oil.
Thank you I read the bulletin you posted, after reading it this makes sense. How can I find my engine number to see if it is within the range of affected engines?

look for the link to the .pdf with the technical bulletin.
I don't know about other cars but it's normal for M157 engines to make this fuel injection pump noise for only the first 15 sec when the engine is cold. It does it even when the engine is warm sometimes

That's true it difficult to diagnose it from someone who knows

I saw the pdf file with parts that fix this problem but does these parts require engine to be removed ?

I got the same noise during start up. At first, technician told me it was normal but now I will have it checked.

Thanks for the PDF too.

Thanks to mb techman for posting the bulletin. My dealer replaced the tensioners and check valves. No more start up noise. 2012 owners, I would recommend seeing if your engine number falls within the range for affected engines.

You can get the data card from Star EPC net. Or get your service advisor to run the VIN.
