2001 manual CDT Saloon 119,000 miles:
A few faults.
1:
I have a whiring type sound that seems to be coming in through drivers footwell/bottom of steering column engine area.
This sounds louder in lower gears.
Goes a little more quiet when warmed up a bit.
I think it sounds faster with increased speed but hard to tell.
2:
When pushing clutch pedal down there is a dull sound like it`s rubbing on something, kind of whoop.
3:
When blipping accelrator pedal there is a kind of creaking coming from front low down, I think that has to do with that mounting that looks like a tear drop with a hole at each end.
4:
On starting and turning off the engine there is a rattle that seems to come from under car rear seat area, it sounds loud, a bit twangy (is that a word) sharp not dull.
My car has had no recent work apart from a broken coil spring (3 in past 4 years) No work on clutch ever, but I do get a little judder now and then when it`s been stood a while. Engine has had vibration at around 2,000 RPM for several years.
The car has done very few miles in past 12 months and only 4,000 in the almost 6 years I have owned it.
I hope I have described it well enough.
The one thing missing in the English language are words for sounds, I think and educated member should compile a sound dictionary so the noises our cars make :D.
