182, 5th Gear Noise

[R1CKG3]

Picked up my new 182 last week clocked up 400 miles so far, i love it. One thing is bugging me though, in 5th gear when accelerating it makes a high pitch noise which isnt there in any other gear. Is this normal or somethin i need Renault to look at ?

that might be wind noise.

Ye thats called doing 140mph lol !

Nah seriously, I take it its not just wind noise ?

whistling from the wing mirror after 70 ish???? this was/is a problem that effected the 172.

Defo not wind noise, it does it at low speed, as soon as you put it in 5th and press the accelerator, take your foot off the noise stops.

mine makes a noise when using fast padel all the time comes from passenger footwell area sure its not your footwell? it does it at all speeds though and every gear.

Where does noise come from?? I dont want to panic you but I seem to remember someone else needing a new gearbox a few months back. Anyone remember who it was??? See if symptoms are same
