Engine: 70: - Strange noise after morning start - what can it be?

cabman · Apr 4th, 2007, 16:40

C70, 12 months old. When I start up in the morning, after driving a few yards, I hear a kind of "fart" from the back. Is this the catalytic thingy clearing it's nose or the hand brake (which doesn't feel as though its sticking) freeing up.
Or is it something else entirely?
Not an April fool I promise!

Definately ABS test does it every time you move off after starting the engine and happens at 15 mph. I took mine in to the dealer to get it checked and they confirmed it was the ABS check.

Thanks to you all for this info. It has put my mind at rest. The dog is happier too 'cos I reckoned it was him!
Happy Easter
