Hi, i was hoping someone could shed some light on my engine. Its not an aircross however its still a 1.5hdi. DS DS7 Crossback Perf Line. Metallic type noise, sometimes when starting you can hear as if the chain is running dry. Restart and its fine. Im getting Air Boost Pressure Value below and above setting. unsure if this is related. Any advice would be appreciated. I will provide my vin if Juan could check which engine i have i would be greatful. Thank you

VIN: VR1JCYHZJKY056134

I am getting something that matches that discription but only when it is cold outside - in my mind it sounded more like the starter not disengaging quick enough (like the old days if you held the key in the ignition position after the engine started).

A metalic sound like shaking a bunch of keys very very quickly?

Juan Sheet is there any chance you could check my VIN and confirm if 7mm or 8mm chain? This is actually a C4 Cactus - VF70BYHYJLE508953 . Thanks ever so much.
