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.

I got the same thing on mine, not a big problem, it's fairly normal that it does that when it gets cold outside(winter)<BR>it has something to do with the rocker-arms or something like that, i'm not sure anynore how it's called in english!
