Bought a brand new Captur in February 2022. Makes a terrible grinding noise at start up in the morning. Lasts for about 15 sec and then quiet. Drives great otherwise. Renault says it is normal (???). Anyone else experience similar issue?
Eeeek!This is a video of it. https://streamable.com/s8exuo
Well I have a 2015 Captur that gets a cold start every time we use it. It does not make that noise or any other that is not normal. A second opinion I think. Mine is the 1.2 4cyl turbo.

Renaults are good, Renault dealers mostly can’t find their arse with both hands. This is not a problem confined to the Renault brand btw…Thanks will get second opinion. 1.3L T petrol engine. I complained to Metro Renault in Brisbane. They checked it out and stated that there is nothing wrong. Even had it overnight to check a cold start. Showed them the video and they persist "all is normal". Now I know this is not common, I will take it to a specialist. Starting to have serious doubts about buying a Renault.
If you're in that area, drop in at Peugeotech and ask for their opinion.Thanks will get second opinion. 1.3L T petrol engine. I complained to Metro Renault in Brisbane.
