Hi team - my 2010 MK6 R has a little gremlin at the moment, it emits a reasonably loud grinding noise briefly just after start up. I videoed it below (I hope OneDrive links are allowed...)

It turns over fine, and afterwards drives normally.
The other pattern to note is that the car only emits the noise when it's cold.
My local VW dealer have just replaced the starter motor, but that doesn't seem to have helped.
Thoughts? And thanks.
