Horrible rattle noise on cold start insingnia

[Peewee1988]

Hi all I'm new to this and hope I'm doing it right. I have a 2013 insignia 2.0 Cdti 140 bhp, and it has started to to make a horrible noise when I start it in the mornings, or when left for a long period of time. It only lasts about 10 seconds when it does but doesn't sound good. It doesn't sound like the aux belt it's sounds more like a rattle from behind the cambelt cover but could be wrong, has any one else had any issues like this??

Hi Peewee...welcome to the Forum

I think if you have a rattling sound in the camshaft drive area of the engine that I would take it to a garage immediately for investigation before anything catastrophic occurs.

Let us know what you find out

Hi Trevor I've just rang the Vauxhall dealer up and waiting for response but by what your saying does sound where it's coming from. I did try to upload a video clip of it but the file was to big I will keep you posted cheers.
