low speed woooo
« on: April 08, 2015, 09:44:33 pm »
Building up speed to around 15 mph I get a continuous woo type sound, it could be normal to be honest. Just wondering about it. I know wooo is not the best of descriptions but I don't know how how else to explain it.

Sounds normal! Noisy engine at low speeds. Sounds like heavy metal and filling air.

Is it coming from the back? Check the insides of the rear tyres and make sure they're not out of shape. They can cause noise similar to a wheel bearing. Just a thought, maybe worth checking

No iTs from the front. Doesn't sound bad if you know what I mean, could well be just the noise the engine makes.

Sounds like wheel bearing, drive it side to side across the road if the noise changes tone it's bearing

Mine does it and I put it down to gearbox whine.
