Guys!! my car is making the weirdest noise (imagine dragging a solid metal pole along the bitumen). it make this sound at 50kms in fifth gear full throttle and 6th gear at 65-70 kms full throttle. it only does it in those two gears in the first 10-15 minutes from a dead-cold start.

anyone know what could be wrong?

Talk about overloading a cold engine

5th gear at 60 maybe that's why but I dunno if that's normal

OP its a good idea if you try to drive normally and below 3,000 rpm until a few mins after the engine is heated, to make sure everything is heated up and preventing damage, i think every car makes noises if you try to give it too much load on a cold start

lol just read this properly cold start flooring lol. agree with above except more then a few minutes possible 10-15 minutes for oil temp to get to the correct temp

i know that. but it still does it even after 8 minutes. even when warm itll do it, and i definately am not cold start flooring(im just saying full throttle but itll do it either way, the car has never done it before) .

the sound is really prominent to the front left. and its def not the pinging issue.
