Ok, this is embarrassing smile

But does anyone else's Vantage do this?

You put the key in, and turn it in the starting positing. The lights on the dash come up, and then all of a sudden, the car farts for about & second or 2, 3.

Pffrrrrrrrtt !

I know pretty girls DO fart, but do pretty cars also fart?

Note: this happens when the engine is not running. It just happens when you turn the key in the start position.

Sounds like something to do with the rear silencer box valves sorting them selves out.
Someone will explain that in more technical terms in a minute.

Mine does that.

To me it sounds like the satnav motors cycling.

Mine did something like that when the battery got low. Do you have a conditioner?

Mine does it, but I'd describe more as a low growling noise, it happens around the same time as the 'faith, hope & glory' or whatever it says scrolls past on the screen.

I've always assumed it was just something like the fuel pump energising, my old Mercedes used to do something very similar when unlocking it, which in the case of the Merc was the SBC pump pressurising the braking system.

I think it's the exhaust vacuum pump.

Have you been giving it 'the beans' on recent outings?

My twolegged girl does fart but not my fourwheeled one.
Here is a stupid idea: how about an Italian tunning, if it does not help it is fun.

PS: My beloved wife, the best of all wifes, was not amused reading this smile

Farting on startup? Do you already have the new AMG v8 installed?
