1/2 second grinding sound at start.....Starter, Solenoid...
2.2Lude. · #3 · Aug 4, 2016. I'm currently having the same issue. Replaced the starter and the grinding noise is still there. Exactly as you described it, usually on first start up (half a second)of the day then it's gone. I haven't done much research on it but I'll look into the VTC actuator.
