Hi guys, i'm still pretty new to this game, and could do with some advice.
Recently my 200tdi 110 started making a grumbling noise when i backed off the accelerator at motorway speed. I checked the half-shafts and UJ's as well as anything else i could think of, but found nothing. I was concerned that i would brake something if i drove it, so i kept it off the road, until last week when i took it to a garage for a new xmember and an MOT. I asked them to have a look for the source of the noise but they said couldn't find anything obvious either, and suggested i 'let the problem develop'. Since then i have driven about 200 miles and, sure enough, the problem has developed and it's now grumbling from about 35mph and get's louder the faster you go (Noise still only happens when you take your foot of the accelerator). It has also become accompanied by a wonky rear axle, which i didn't have before i took it to the garage. Could the noise be related to the axle not being straight?
Also appeared is a clunk from under the vehicle when i start the engine. It happens when the tf box is in neutral as well as in gear with the clutch in.
The vehicle is supposed to be for our honeymoon- to take us round europe, but it's at close risk of running over budget, so all help would be massively appreciated.
Cheers,
Steve
