Probably an easy one for you guys... 2002 CC, just got it last week, when I open the door after it's been sitting over night in the (heated) garage, it makes a hydraulic noise that lasts a few seconds. Almost sounds like a hydraulic lift. What is that?

Thanks!

Ah, yea, it's definitely not the window
So it must be the oil pump them. Interesting. Do all dry-sump lubricated engines do this prior to a cold engine start?

I know the hydraulic pump on my M3 for the SMG system would turn on as soon as I opened doors and I read that Maserati also does this for the CC. Is probably that as I hear nothing with my GT

The sound is the F1 pump priming the CC system.
