R0peycar Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Hi Guys, I have a 2.0 titanium diesel hatch, 170,000 miles (owned since new). I get a pronounced transmission drone peaking at just 18mph and around 50 mph. Swerving car from side to side makes no difference, nor if I lower clutch. Have jacked up each side and spun all four wheals by hand but no obvious problem there, tyres all look good too. Anyone any ideas please on how to diagnose or likely source?

R0peycar Posted April 12, 2014 Author Share Posted April 12, 2014 Garage has taken a look and the rear tyres are feathered, this is causing the noise. Thanks for the feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Garage has taken a look and the rear tyres are feathered, this is causing the noise. Thanks for the feedback. Are you sure? Are you sure that the tracking isn't out, causing the feathering and also causing the noise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R0peycar Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 I have not had tracking checked as the wear on front tyres is even. Can't see how this might cause feathering of the rear Goodyear tyres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
