It never rains but pours......
Anyways a noise has started to happen with the car that seems to be road wheel speed related. The wife recons its coming from the near side front while seem to recon its coming from the off side front, we both recon its coming from the front then, hopefully not from the gearbox !!!
There has been a wheel bearing type noise for sometime but not serious, g/box oil level and condition was checked regularly.
This new noise has come on relatively quickly and recently.
Does anyone have info like g/box exploded views etc. ( will try and get into service box for them but I don't have internet at home, so any help there would be greatly appreciated ) that could help me trace this noise.
The noise is like something may be stuck in the brake caliper and touching the abs ring, a bit like a kid with a stick running along a railing fence, you get the idea. It seems toooo fast for a wheel bearing type noise at low speed, and it drowned out with increasing speed, but plainly heard at about 10mph.
At faster speeds there is a wheel bearing type rumble noise.
Both noises vary with direction, being noisier on left lock than right lock. Full lock in a car park at low speed does not seem an issue. It does not seem to vary with drive/overrun.
I will start at the outside of the onion with the easy stuff like maybe tyre tread and look for anything touching the abs ring and disc vent holes, as well as drive shafts, and work inwards ?
I will be getting the car up in the air over the weekend and looking/listening underneath for this noise. I will also check the back wheels ( will do them first I think ! ) just to rule them out.
The gearbox is a BE3R with a BVM5 transmission according to the pug service box data sheet for this car.
I suspect that under the tin cover on the gearbox near side end there are 2 large nuts with lock tabs ? to keep the gearbox shaft components and bearings in place ? Any known issues with them, coming loose maybe ? Also any known issues with crown wheel bearings and diff carrier bolts ??
From memory the speedo does not have a cable drive but the speedo drive may also cause this noise ? as well as the intermediate shaft support bearing system ????
When I arrive at the gearbox ( hopefully something is found before there ) I will drain the oil and see what comes out, but is there a magnet to catch bits inside the g/box ???
Anyone else had a similar noise and what was found please ?
Thanks.......
