Hi folks. So I have an HSE v6 and it is playing a couple of annoying noises. First one is when I let off the accelerator or when I am just touching it whilst cruising, I get like a rattling sound. It does have a snorkel if that has anything to do with it. Second one is when I go in to a right hand corner, has to be a fairly hard turn, I get a noise coming from inside rear area. Sounds like air or a rumble from a bearing. I have no play in the wheel. I will try to record the noises later.

I would put a Fiver on the 1st noise you mention as the Torque Converter, it can go on for Years and be progressively more noticeable. Finally swallowed a £1200bill and changed mine, drives like a new D3 mind….

Can’t help on the Second noise though - could be Rear Diff, Wheel Bearing or even the Traction Control misbehaving.

Bonne Chance

Auto or manual?

1. Sounds possibly gear box related, flywheel, TC?
2. Wheel bearing?
