I still havent noticed that problem and its really cold here in NY. I have noticed a rattling noise every time I shut the engine off though. I dont let the car warm up more than 30 seconds before I drive off.

After I saw this thread decided to check mine too. There is a tapping noise coming from the hood area. Doesn't seem like it's the valves because the rhythm seems slower than what the engine is running at - altho I could be wrong here.
Can hear it faintly inside the cockpit with everything shut off. Clearly audiblt when you stand even a few feet away from the car.
Tried with Normal drive, Sport mode - no difference. Noise didn't abate even after engine was warm with >15mins of driving.
- what's going on? Is this normal??
Should mention mine has about 200 miles on it.
