Cold Start Knock
Is cold start knock a common occurrence on the RX350? We have a 2008 model that we bought used in May 2010 with 25K miles.
Over the Christmas holiday, temperatures were around 20ºF overnight. After a cold soak, the vehicle makes a knock on start up. The noise goes away once the engine has warmed. Since this is the wifes daily driver, I never heard the noise before.
It sounds like my Sierra Z71 with Piston Slap.
Thanks,
Bobcat.
