In the couple of years I’ve owned my car I’ve only had 2 cold start ups with the dreaded rattle!!! albeit very slight? Mine is an older engine (2008 pre fix) & with the risk of tempting fate nothing recently? I’ve put 5k miles on it in my ownership all in sport.

Well everyone standing around my car thought it wasn't variators. There is a classic example on FB at the moment, though.

Mine also 2008 pre fix with the caps done. 4 incidents in 1 year, always in cold temperature.

Heard far worse that's for sure.
Just keep an eye on it.
There's a video I posted on here somewhere of a GT variator rattle.

Thanks for replying Phil. Same situation here and I am trying to understand what it is. Got the car to the specialist for 6 weeks but the car never made the noise while there. I see that your post is from 2015 so I assume it has not worsen for you. Is yours similar to this? https://youtube.com/shorts/aXg2N8Ub9B0?feature=share

that sound wa less that 2 seconds - is that enough to count as variatior work needed?
Notice the blue cam covers and oil filler cap so wet sump engine. Is this even a factor?

Yes it was the wet sumps that had the issue more.
