The grinding noise could be caused by a number of issues, such as a faulty starter motor or a loose belt. It is important to have it checked by a mechanic as soon as possible to avoid any potential damage to your engine.

I had a similar issue with my Audi A5 and it turned out to be a problem with the timing belt. I would recommend taking it to a trusted mechanic for a thorough inspection and possible replacement of the timing belt.

Sometimes, the grinding noise could be a result of built-up debris or dirt in the engine. Try giving it a good clean and see if the noise persists. If it does, it's best to get it checked out by a professional.
