Timing chain rattle because the oil has drained off it. The rattle should go away after a few seconds..... normal for VQ's

speaking of cold starts, my car was sitting outside during a single digits night for a few hours (I know... atrocious!), and the clutch became very gooey. It was like that for at least 20 minutes of driving. Mark one for disadvantages of having a hydraulic clutch in a place that gets cold.

I bet ive got a new one. My car was sitting out in cold weather between 15-25 for 8 hours and when i started it up the fvckin horn just started going off and wouldnt stop. I had to turn the car off and then turn it back on to get it to stop. Not sure if it was because of the cold weather or an electrical problem but it was totally weird.

Today was the first time mine did this. I thought it sounded like
lifter clatter. I thought WTF is that! I even double checked the oil
after hearing that ****!

It also took about a minute to dissipate.

got the same problem, mine is super gooey tho...but only cause its much colder here. wow you have to trade locations with me. single digits lol. I would love to see even single negative digits most of the time lol. I'm going to have my clutch fluid drained, so I will see if that fixes any of the problems.
