Is this engine sound normal

[Weeked]

Any idea why my T6 sounds like this when started from cold, the knock goes away after 5 minutes.

I've been told it's the fly wheel.

Any ideas?

Would a flywheel noise not be consistent ?

That's what I thought but it seems like on T6 the fact that the sound goes away when warm suggests the DMF. I'll try to take it to the mechanic but the problem is by the time I get there the sound is gone and it needs to stay off at least one or two days to replicte it.

I did, and he said it looks like is the DMF, only way to find out is to take it apart or wait untill it goes really bad. I just bought the VAN and I spoke with the dealer about it and they do offered warranty 6 months so I would like to fix it now if possible hence I asked for second opinion here. Surely someone had a DMF failing on them here.

I’d be getting the whole discussion in an email with the milage.
You have statutory rights regardless of the dealers warranty offer.

I have the discussion in WhatsApp with the deler. Not sure about my rights but I got the finance company involved as well. The van has some other minor issues that they pass on to the warranty company. So far the warranty company refuses to approve any work on the van. The van was bought less than 3 weeks ago.

Tell the dealer to agree to the fixes, or you will reject it. Don't let it drag on.
