So for a while now i get this occasional scratch the minute my car turns over i have checked the starter and flywheel which it is not the case. My other guess would be something to do with my timing belt anyone have this problem before. Like i said the scratch is not everytime only occasional and it just happens right when the car turns over and that is it no other noise or no continuing noise just that one scratch occasinally.

 

Could be the starter. Do you have the correct bolts in the starter that mate to the transmission housing?

 

yes sir i do short on top long one on the bottom i have heard about it maybe being the timing belt tensioners it sounds like it is coming from driver side

 

someone help me out or atleast give me some ideas i can diagnose i have had my starter tested and it is all well i believe it is something from the timing belt side if anyone has ideas let me know

 

Sound clip of the noise?
