knocking sound when cold.

Post by MX#3 »

My car makes knocking sound coming from engine (somewhere in the front) only when I start it, then after a min of idling it goes away. Do you guys know what could it be? I have winter oil; and while I am at it do you know any good scratch removal that works on any color?<BR>Thanks a lot.
