Droning/whining sound

[Mike_SE]

I'm getting this sound from the rear, i think rear passenger side, generally when I reach about 35 mph. Brakes arent binding, so i'm assuming its the wheel bearings. Does anyone have any other ideas what it might be?

I got this too mate, Subbing to this if theres an answer lol

 

[Dave..]

Does the girlfriend sit in the back seats?

 

[Thrill]

Ive got this too. Just after having a new tyre.. strange.

That might be the tyre you bought.

Haha no this is with or without passengers. More embarrassing with people in the back though...

Wheel bearing, does it get louder as you go faster?

 

[Shifty.]

Had this back along, was the wheel bearing, that's where I'd start if I was you.

 

[Mike_SE]

It does indeed, which is why I thought wheel bearing. Forgotten how annoying French cars can be, one thing goes wrong and then a load of things go tits up

 

[Poopensharten]

Wheel bearing, 100%.

No problem Mike, remember when you take the disc off to put the small washer (on the hub) the right way round!

Check, been advised about that! From what I gather, I might as well just get some new discs off G 172 on here with the bearings included for £99 rather than pay £44 each for just the wheel bearings
