Thread: Engine noise

    Engine noise

    I have been driving on the motorway the past few days and noticed after a certain amount of time the engine has started to make a deep rumbling noise. Speed has been at around roughly 70mph.

    Anyone know what this could be?

    Sure it's the engine? Could it be the gearbox diff whining/moaning?

    Wheel bearing?

    Driveshaft CV joint dry and moaning?

    Pretty sure it was the engine mate. Noise seemed to be vibrating the car slightly too.

    then id still say look at the wheel bearing, that will also cause vibration

    If the noise if worse on corners then it will most likely be the wheel bearings (happened on my Williams) and yes they make a rumbling noise when they are on their way out, don't know why though, one of our technical guru's will be able to answer that one
