2014 Camaro LT w/ weird single tick noise at start-up
Hello!
This is my first time joining this forum since buying this Camaro, roughly a week ago. The car runs perfectly fine, however, I noticed that there is a weird noise that only occurs when the engine is cold at start-up. It doesn't always happen but it does concern me a little bit.
There is a single tick noise that occurs when I start the car, either through remote start or by hand, followed by the 'belt noise' (as if you can hear it from outside without popping the hood) inside the engine when it's running and the car vibrates slightly at idle. It goes away after a while.
Could it be the timing belt?
I'll post a video so it can be heard and can be understood better.
Thanks!
