Strange noise just after engine starts

Albjames · Jan 2, 2014

Hello All
Here's one for you
My TD5 when it just fires up I here a strange noise like a pressure pump priming? It is only for 1 or 2 seconds
She runs fine so any advise would be great
Thanks

I get something like that, think it may be the ACE system sorting itself out?

Is it coming from under the car below the passenger side door? If so its probably the air suspension compressor topping up the bags.

To check, start the car with a door open and it shouldn't do it.

Thanks Guys
I don't have ACE and my air suspension has been removed so It can't be any of the above ?
But that is what I thought so still stumped

ABS? Mine makes a noise a bit like a ratchet slipping. If I have my foot on the brake I can feel it. If that's it, it's normal.

Thanks I will stick my foot on the brake the next time I'm out (it's blowing a storm at the moment)
Not sure if this is a good thing or not?
