Worrying noise

[LewisG]

The hdi has this grinding/scraping noise when coasting a long, as soon as i accelerate it stops. Its getting louder and louder and i dont know what it could be, any ideaa?

[Toms306]

Possibly a driveshaft.

Is it relative to road or engine speed?

[LewisG]

Im not sure yet ive only driven to work and back which i only can go upto 40mph it doesnt seem to matter what speed im doing

See if you can work out what makes it happen, what makes it worse and how you can stop it, will help us work out what's happening.

its French! look underneath to see what's fallen off and dragging on the road

[LewisG]

Well on the way to work it wasnt doing the grinding noise but it was humming, maybe wheel bearings?

[Poodle]

Where is the noise coming from?

[LewisG]

Sounds like its coming from osf wheel

may be wet where you are now, any difference when wet??

brakes ok and not "pulling".......

noise changes when brakes applied??

noise changes when car gently ( and safely ) weave from side to side??

noise lessens when weaving to the right and increases when weaving to the left??

visual check underneath all ok??

can you shake the wheel and its got play when car is on the deck??



raise car on that side and check.......check pads also.....any road work where you are??

You should be able to hear/feel a rough wheel bearing if you jack the car up on that corner and shake/spin the wheel.
