2011 Infiniti M56x - Startup Engine Noise

Not my usual vlog...it's the 'offseason'. However, having an issue with my car so sharing this video with the NICOClub community to see what it may be so that I present the dealer with as much information as possible.

Here is the thread discussing the sound and what it may be, including information from an Infiniti trained technician:

UPDATE: 5/2016

Infiniti has issued a recall for this issue. There is indeed an issue with the timing chain and it rubbing against the oil jets and they will fix it free of charge. HOWEVER, the noise in this video is normal. The reason why it goes away is because the car goes from a closed loop to an open loop after the engine reaches a certain temperature.

Please go here, enter your VIN, etc. to see if your car falls under the recall:

I don't have any help man but I hope the best for you that it can be resolved easily! Car issues are the worst!

2011 with the same thing, removed the serpentine belt once and made same noise. My guess is the high pressure fuel pump. I'll know when it doesn't run anymore!

My 2011 does it when its 50 degrees or colder

Serpentine belt pulley. Not a serious problem
