noise please help

[saxo02]

hi there guys,im wondering if someone could possibly help me out,ive got a noise on my saxo vtr mk2 the best way to describe it would be a washing machine noise except maybe more vigorously.ive had it for 5 months now and its getting on my nut.the faster i go the louder and faster the noise becomes and it kicks in pretty much straight away.ive had both driveshafts done both wheel bearings and a new strut,also i fitted a new wishbone,i would say its on the right but i cant be sure.there is no movement in the wheels. my brother reckons its from the dash but im not sure also it feels like you can feel it in the footwells.hope to hear from someone thanks again

[saxovtsmad]

have you got a fish tank under the dash

[Scorgie01]

Does it do it when you are stopped? Moving? stopped with the engine running?

[saxo02]

haha nah mate no fish tank,basically does this when driving off maybe get to 10 miles an hour and it will start to kick in straight away and the faster you go the louder and faster the noise becomes,thanks

[saxo02]

once driving its there all the time,until i slow right down then it stops,then once i accelerate again it literally comes straight back.thanks

[Scorgie01]

And there is definitely no play in the wheels? :S

Had this on my last Saxo, turned out the be the thrust bearing in the clutch. Could also be alternator bearing? Had the whole clutch replaced in the end. Hope this helps

Just to add to what i said before. To check if it is the thrust bearing, put your foot under the clutch pedal and pull the pedal towards you (when idling :oops:). If the noise stops then it is definately the thrust bearing. This is what the guy at the garage did to determine if it was that or not.

yup no play in the wheels atal,ill definately try that out dan tomoz,although it doesnt seem mechanical if im honest,is it easy to do the thrust bearing?thanks

[Damask]

now im a bit of a newb, but could it be your wheel arch linings being a bit loose?

[Superdan114]

Had mine done at the garage, had the whole clutch done and cost around £280 i think so not really cheap. Although i have heard its relatively easy to do yourself if you have the time and abit of knowledge! :y:

Well other than the experience i had with mine i can't really think what else it could be mate! :wall:

[saxo02]

haha yup dan i feel like bangin my head on a brick wall,its horrible lol.damask ill take alook but to be hjonest i dont think it would be,its definately summit under the bonnet,anyone think it may be an engine mount?ill try and get a video on tomz to try and show you guys exactly the noise,thanks again all your comments are great

[saxo02]

Drivers side driveshaft intermediate bearing


had abrand new driveshaft mate,any other ideas?thanks

[saxo02]

anyone think this could be engine/gearbox related, ive tightened the gearbox mount today under the battery tray its seemed to of tightened the gearbox up a little as it was quite loose.but other than that im just spending money here there and everywhere and not getting any closer.thanks guys

[hoylee]

lift up your car 1 wheel at a time.. and spin as fast as ya can. and stick your ear near it...

it also could be the main shaft bearing in the g-box.
some are replacable some arnt..
peace
