L666JER Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Hi, I had the fiesta up on axle stands last week (at the front) and when I started it I noticed the wheels where turning ever so slightly, however when I press the clutch they stop, let it back up and they start again. And it definitely wasn't in gear. Doesn't bother me too much unless it is a sign of something wrong. What could it be and do I need to worry about it? Any help would be appreciated.

Stoney871 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Nothing to worry about. Even in neutral the gearbox cogs are spinning and impart some slight momentum amongst themselves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L666JER Posted October 23, 2013 Author Share Posted October 23, 2013 Well it's not enough to make the wheels turn when the car is on the ground or make the engine struggle at idle, so it can't be much. As I say, I only noticed it when the car was on the stands. Sent from my ST26i using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
