Yea?

Is it possible symptoms like this will lead to failure or could this just be because it was extreme coldness?

Hi all,

Got a corsa R-reg X14XE

Recently it's been v.cold (about 0.0/2.0) and ive always made a habit of starting the car with the clutch down.

Since monday morning til this morning, since ive been starting the car (with clutch down) it makes like a slapping noise, favouring the front passenger side of engine (or there abouts) but when i release the clutch, it stops!

Theres no performance lack or anything.

Cheers all
