2008 LR2 Very Noisy at startup. Especially in reverse
Thanks for helping! I bought a 2008 LR2, it has 82k miles, it has had some issues since we got it. Namely when i start it up cold it really makes a loud noise coming from the right side of the engine compartment. It is especially loud when I put the car into reverse. The sounds goes away for the most part as the engine warms up. Anyone else know what this could be? TIA

Did you ever find what caused this issue? I have the same right now.
Thank you

I am dealing with this issue as well after a return from off roading. 2008 LR2 Petrol. I am looking to have a transmission flush and ATF fluid replacement even though the transmission (Aisin Warner AWF-21) is designed sealed for life. Has anyone done that for a 2008 LR2 Petrol?

I'm wondering about the cause of that noise. Sounds like something is leaking and the seal is closing up when the engine gets warm.
I'm not generally a fan of using the parts shotgun to solve an undiagnosed problem, but the 08 LR2 is old enough that most parts can be rationally replaced as preventive maintenance. Check if the noise sounds like its coming from the valve cover (LR023777). It's unrelated to the transmission, but known to be a source of noise.

Flush is probably not a good idea. Change is good, I'm shooting for 50K going forward but I first had it done at 110K. It improved the shift performance with no ill effects. At high mileage you might consider a partial change to minimize the risk of dissolving any accumulated crud... but like I said I got away with a full change at 110K
Any indie euro shop should be able to do it, lots of volvos have the same drivetrain and they DO have a change interval specified. For DIY, there's plenty of how-to info on the Brit forums. They mostly have the diesel motor but the tranny is the same...

That depends how you define "flush". Adding some chemical into the transmission to flush it like some people do before an oil change, or with radiators, is indeed a bad idea. But simply loading it with the transmission fluid, warming it up, then replacing it again won't do any harm, and it does help to remove that "accumulated crud."

Once you're "caught up" to your satisfaction then full changes at a reasonable interval should be fine, or as you say a flush with ATF followed by a full change would be even better.
No right or wrong answer... no way to know how gunked up a particular tranny might or might not be if it's high mileage and never been changed.
