From the engine when I first start the thing up each day. Any thoughts?

 

How many miles are on it?

 

could be power steering belt

 

33k but it only does it for a few seconds each time i drive it. It's not that cold in the garage but I dont drive it every day.

 

check out the power steering fluid and serp belt. also could be the serpbelt tensior

 

mine started doing this too. it's just when you first start up but only if it's colder like 50 or below.
I was thinkin belts my self.

 

I am SO lazy that I've been ignoring it. Can always drive the Hummer to work. The TT is new to me, so I need to find a decent mechanic for this crap, I guess.

 

I wonder if it's low on blinker fluid?

 

Could be. I'll have that checked first.

 

Mine does this on start up too. Its hard to describe the sound, but its not the same sound a belt would make. The sound only lasts about a second, and starts right after the starter stops and the engine fires. It doesn't happen every time, and has nothing to do with outside temp. OP, does this sound like your problem too?

And I hope you know he was kidding about the blinker fluid...
