Sounds like the ABS priming mate, is it 5 or 6 quick noises just after start up? The service boys may have heard it but known that it is normal and not thought to tell you that. In regards to the tyre pressures - did you check them before the service too?

Fill the survey out truthfully, if you don't tell them, they won't change - trust me, dealerships are really clamping down on customer service these days

Hi Senna, Thanks for your feedback. With the sound I only hear one clunk which seems to derive from the front driver’s side area of the engine bay & only occurs when driving off at low speed from when the car is initially started. After this I don't hear it again until the motor is switched off / restarted & same result – one clunk when driving off. I don't hear repetitive sounds as mentioned –5 or 6 times.

With the tyre pressures I had checked them prior to the service as I regularly check them when filling up with fuel... I did notice though a pimple faced teen that was working at the service centre & he looked so green & unhappy –work experience kid maybe. I thought he may have been given the duty of checking tyre pressures when the variance of psi levels was determined...

Also I was never clearly explained what was done on my 3000km service only that it was done... I also had a nail in one tyre which when advised to the mechanic on arrival he looked as though the world was going to end & life would cease to exist. Luckily it wasn’t a nail but a small metal object that didn’t totally pierce the tyre.

Note: I’ll fill the survey form out & maybe they will supply me with the report on what was done to my car...

Cheers!!

Details on the 3000km check up is in your Service book, its basically just a piece of mind inspection - to make sure that everything is running in correctly and there are no issues
