Driving
When starting a cold engine, it may be a little
noisy f or the first f
ew seconds until oil pr
es-
sur
e has built up in the hydraulic valve com-
pensators. This is quite normal, and no cause
for concern.
If the engine does not start immediately,
switch the starter off after 10 seconds and try
again after half a minute. If the engine still
does not start, the fuel pump fuse should be
checked
