RE: 5ks Starting Noise
Hi Alexander
Sounds like the exact same noise I have on my Coupe Q, it even does it when cold like your sisters car. I haven't got around to fixing it yet, nut my diagnosis was the starter. I am gonna pull it and grease it with a little high temp grease and re install. I had something similar with my father inlaw's I5 engined Passat and this cured it.

Subject: 5ks Starting Noise
My sister's '86 5ks is giving off a nasty noise after cold starts. She
cranks the starter and the engine starts right up perfectly. Although right
after the starter is stopped she gets this snapping, popping, crackling
noise for a second then it dissapears. When the engine is warm the noise
isn't there. Is this a starter problem?
She did have a nasty Group7 filter, no control for oil flowing out of
the sump. The noise was there before I changed the oil to Mobil 1 and gave
her a Mann filter. It has progressively gotten worse/louder. No starting
problems whatsoever though, cranks right up nice and happy. Just the noise
is somewhat nasty sounding. Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks again!
