does it make a real loud buzzing sound after engine has started for about a second? If so it is the Starter solenoid sticking. This will eventually seize and need replacing, but for the time being it is doing no harm as my 1.8 SE is doing the same thing and has done for months. If it does seize advice given to me by the garage is to smack it with a hammer. :lol:
