Saxo whining

[Heald14]

Hi I've got a saxo furio and it's developed a whine it doesn't do it all the time only when in 5th gear doing 40-50 mph and you lift off the accelerator I've got a horrible feeling its gearbox related I don't suppose you guy have any ideas any help or advise will be much appreciated thanks in advance.

Its drive train correct gearbox, diff or shafts i wouldnt say so much wheel bearing cus its not usually load related... Without more info like worse on a corner or kinda does in all gears but worse in 5th... But yh could be box

It's been for mot today and passed with flying colours so wasn't thinking it was wheel bearings. As far as i aware it is correct gearbox and everything for car. It only does it in 5th that I've noticed in a straight line it sounds like the noise you get when you reverse a bit quick cars not lowered or anything does have vtr alloys

Gearbox problem, easiest way to check is get it to do it and push it out of gear (without using the clutch) if the noise disappears then it's gearbox.

Hi tingaling tryd what u said and it stopped I've been under the car today and had a good clean round and where the n/s drive shaft goes in gearbox its leaking oil there that drive shaft also says vtr on it so it's obviously had a replacement shaft at some stage I've also topped oil up it took quite abit I'm deffo thinking gearbox now what do u guys think? And will the vtr shafts make any difference?

Will a vtr gearbox fit the 1.4?

Yes any saxo/106 box will fit, dont get a vtr box though get a 1.1 box.

[Heald14]

Thanks mate why 1.1? I said vtr because I know where there is 1 at a good price

[Ali123]

shorter ratios so better for acceleration and and the vtr box is very very long

This might be a daft question but do the inner cv boot have oil in them? I've put a new box on car and caught the cv boot and oil is coming out of it I need to use car and am abit scared

They have cv grease in them, sometimes goes abit runny. Best to change the boot and fill with new grease soon as
