Back to the dealer again!!

[Mr_P]

My little inferno is once again back at the dealer for them to try and diagnose a buzz/vibration sound coming from the N/S/F area.
The car has just done 17k miles now. They have done the suspension top mounts which were apparently knackered (seemed strange at that low a mileage) which after a search seems to be a common thing.
But is there anything else people could suggest happens when car is warm after driving it for a bit (fine when cold :S) gets really bad after having a "spirited" drive and is really loud then.

Thinking along the driveshaft route!?

any ideas/suggestions.

thanks in advance

1st priority, get it away from the dealers, and let some one look at it, who deals with 182s day in day out.

The only reason its there is because I only bought it at the beginning of December and its under warranty. I've even taken them out for a test drive so that they can hear it (which they did).
I just want it fix asap as I love the car, its just this noise is really starting to ruin the car for me.

Is it a buzz or drone. Wheel bearing?

Hello guys
I have a clio f1 and it makes a grinding sound when driving as soon as you
push the clutch in it stops.

The car drives fine (the clutch is not slipping).

Any suggestions would be appreciated thanks

 

[Mr_P]

buzzing sound only happens when warm and when accelerating, more so with some steering lock on.

When i drove it paul before x mas it must be the drive shaft ( N/S/F ).. They have had it twice is it to sort out the problems ???

The shafts come complete so it will be sorted , I dont want to mention the D word ( Diff )

It didnt help putting that induction kit on , its so dam loud that it will drown out any other noise

Keep me updated ok

I'm assuming its Cooks that are working on the car??

If So, just ask that Paul works on it. (Lemonnobby1 on here) Good guy and knows his Clios very well.

It was him anyway and he seems to have cured it now by replacing all the engine mounts and tightening up a couple of items that had come a little loose just to make sure. top work by him!! :approve:

You and me both! the smile is deffinately back , and yes all done for free under the warranty for the car glad i spent a bit extra and got it from the dealers istead of buying it privately otherwise would have been quite a bill and no loan car,(even if it was a campus that had the thurst of a sport for petrol lol).
