Consumer Description

IN AUGUST I NOTICED A WEIRD NOISE COMING FROM THE TIMING BELT AREA OF MY CAR. THE CAR WAS PERFECTLY FINE AND DRIVEN NORMALLY. I STARTED THE CAR AND THE NOISE APPEARED OUT OF NOWHERE. THE NOISE SOUNDS LIKE A WASHING MACHINE AND IS ONLY PRESENT WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED UP AND IS COLD. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES OF DRIVING, THE NOISE DISAPPEARS. I AM WORRIED THAT THERE IS SOMETHING TERRIBLY WRONG IN THAT AREA. I DO NOT WANT MY ENGINE TO BREAK. *TR
