New THUNK, THUNK, thunk, thunk, thunk when starting - Toyota Yaris Forums

Picked up my car the other day after having lent it to my daughter and her boyfriend for a few days. As soon as the engine caught I heard a couple of loud thunks followed by softer thunks until idle smoothed out. This was also accompanied by various scraping noises. First thought, 'What the hell have you guys done to my car!'

Since then I have only started it a couple times to move it around to shovel snow out of driveway. Each startup exhibited the exact same behaviour. Finally warmed up enough today to go take a look at her.

Hard pack snow and ice encasing lower engine and transmission. Breathed a big sigh of relief knowing they didn't F something up.
