Strange noise from engine when starting my car.

[mybora]

This has been happening on my car for years, it does not happen every start but its worse in winter.
It is rare for it to happen with a hot engine.
In summer if might not do it for months at a time.

Lets see what the OP comes up with. It may be some thing else as others have suggested.

Sorry for the late reply. Thats exactly what it does! Thank you so much! Yes its rare for it to do it when the engine is hot. Im sure its not the hydraulic lifters. I've roll started it a few times and yes i'm positive its the starter motor.

Does anyone know if theres any difference between a 2000 and 2002 bora V5 starter motor??

Thank you all! Cheers Nick
