Astra Van - Bang on Cold Start - KevDGill
When I start my 1997 Astra 1.7 TD Van from cold either in the morning of after work (i.e. after a sizeable period of inactivity) it often makes a loud bang or clunk just as the engine starts. The noise sounds like it comes from below and just behind the front seats somewhere.

When I start from warm this never happens. Any ideas?

Thanks

Exhaust mounting broken and the exhaust is banging on the floor Regards Peter

Thanks for that. Any idea why it would only happen when cold?
