The car only does it occasionally....But when you start it up it sounds like a diesel for about half a second before running normally...
Sounds like heavy knock.....does anyone else have similar noises? Im assuming its normal and has something to do with the auto knock adjustment in the ecu, but i was just wondering if other people had the same thing?
Yh i have noticed that today when you turn the key for like a secound sounds like a diesel but then it goes to normal i thought thats what it meant to do lol, thank god some one else has same thing so now i know what it can be and get the problem fixed =)
If you had a Mk5 Golf GTI worryingly when cold they continue to sound like a diesel, however they don't exactly drive like one, and they don't sound like it when revved But yes, think its all good on the Polo front. Maybe its a conspiracy
Mine does this occasionally. Read somewhere a long time ago that it could be down to the exhaust just shaking on its mounts slightly on startup... or something.
Check your oil level, mine was doing it quite frequently on the old engine, because it's the oil pump getting "warmed up". Usually sounds louder when there's a significantly small amount of oil in the engine.

mine does it on cold startups.
