pezza69ers Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Hi guys drive through a pot hole at speed which I didn't see in time and now every now and again there's a whistling/whining noise or like a old kettle noise coming from the wheel side which went through the pot hole any ideas as to what this could be as I have a holiday to go on in 10 Days Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RL123 Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 I think I would jack it up, spin the wheel, take the wheel off and check the tyre and rim , discs and pads and shims etc. bearing issues usually get louder with speed or turning in one direction. A hassle to do but Safety is paramount. Claims against the council can be made but not easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pezza69ers Posted March 24 Author Share Posted March 24 Ok great, it's not a constant noise just 2 or 3 times over a 20-30 minute drive but seem really loud when window is down it occurs when doing the speed limits so I could be goin 20 or 40 and it does it. Thanks for your response Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pezza69ers Posted March 24 Author Share Posted March 24 Managed to record the sound (need volume up) when I pressed the brake it stops then starts again when accelerating all from left side wheel of car, can you tell now?

unofix Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 That sounds like the bearing on the heater blower motor. If you switch the fan completely off does it still make a noise ? I think the shock of the impact has knocked the fan out of balance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pezza69ers Posted March 25 Author Share Posted March 25 The fan wasn't on mate just makes that noise, When I brake the sound stops then carries on when accelerating but it's not constant it can happen for 2mins then not again for another 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Well that is incredibly irritating. I think it's a loose brake pad that's 'just' touching the disc while driving. When you brake it gets 'reset' away from the disc again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
