When I start my car for the first time of the day I hear a metal clicking from the engine bay. Anyone else experience this? I can shut the car off right away, re start it and it will not do it again. I hope its not the timing chain. Only have 23k miles.

 

probably just contact noise before the oil circulates. how long does it happen?

 

1 to 2 seconds.

 

id say its just the lifters priming etc aka normal

 

Change your oil filter or change the brand of filter it's being bypassed if it's too old or has too many miles run thru it .

 

I think I may have this same sound right now with my car, does sound like it actually coming from behind the speedometer?

 

It's the timing chain tensioner. Very common on these motors. Better bring it in to make sure.
