right, ive had this before and i know alot of people have. its the noise that comes and goes with the pressure you put on the throttle.

say when you take your foot off and it start making a loud vibrating rubbing sorta noise, then when you put your foot down again it goes.

i had this before, but i had the sax lowered and the noise seems to fuck off but now 6 months later its back.

it sounds like its coming from behind the pedals/driver side wheel.

i took it to the garage and 2 blokes i took for a spin in it said they've never heard anything like it, and they dunno wtf it is.

i also get it quite bad when coasting in nutrual.

its nothing to do with the, clutch gear box bearings etc

all i wanna know is anybody who has actually had this noise and had it fixed, what was it??

please, no comments from people who are just assuming its wheel bearings or something. only useful answer from who've had this noise which ive seen loads of thread on but none saying what it actually is.

iv got this noise mate, (well judging on what you've said) it could be a whole range of things.

driveshaft
cv joint
worn bushes
wheel bearing
cambelt
aux belt
tensioner bearing
waterpump bearing
altenator

iv changed most of these and its still there.

so today iv changed the cambelt, tensioner, waterpump and altenator

however timing is out so car isnt starting atm, but tensioner bearing and waterpump bearing were FUCKED.
