Why is my Volkswagen Polo engine making a strange noise?

I recently noticed that my Volkswagen Polo's engine has been making a strange noise when I start the car. It seems to go away after a few minutes, but I'm concerned that it might be a sign of a larger issue. Any advice on what could be causing this and how I can fix it?

The strange noise could be a sign of engine problems, such as a worn belt or loose parts. I recommend taking your car to a mechanic to get it checked out.

It could also be caused by a dirty air filter or low oil levels. Try cleaning or replacing the air filter and checking your oil levels before taking it to a mechanic.

I had a similar issue with my Volkswagen Polo and it turned out to be a loose fan belt. I tightened it myself and the noise went away. Make sure to check all the belts in your engine.
