Starter Motor noise

[Blue Flog]

My 08 GTI sounds like a diesel when I start it(starter noise) however it is the FSI engine. Any one had similiar problems?

There's been a few comments in other threads only recently about the noise on start up on the GTI's, apparently it would appear to be quite normal
