We report the discovery of two previously unseen X-ray sources detected in a 5ks Chandra/ACIS observation starting on 2008-10-13.15 UT as part of our ongoing Chandra/HST M31 transient program. Due to the low number of counts, no detailed spectral analysis was possible. The spectra were modelled with an absorbed power law of nH = 6.67e20 atoms/ cm2 (the Galactic value towards M31), Γ = 1.7 and a distance of 780 kpc.
