Why is my Volkswagen Polo's engine making a strange noise?

Recently, my Volkswagen Polo's engine started making a strange noise when I start the car. It goes away after a few minutes of driving. I'm worried that it might be a sign of a bigger issue. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

This could be due to a faulty belt or a worn out bearing in your engine. I suggest getting it checked by a mechanic to prevent any further damage.

It could be as simple as dirt or debris getting stuck in your engine. Try getting a thorough engine cleaning from a professional car wash and see if the noise persists.

Check your oil levels and see if they are low. Low oil levels can cause engine noise. If they are low, top off your oil and monitor the noise. If it continues, take it to a mechanic.
