Problem with 3 day old Clio!

[Tom_16v]

The girlfriend picked up her 1.2 16v dynamique on wednesday, and Ive just noticed their is a strange clicking noise coming from the front left.

Pretty sure its the front left, but I was on the passenger side.

Clicking become faster and she went faster (about 10mph) but couldnt hear it after that, probably down to too much other noise than it disappearing.

Not had chance to look at anything tonight with it being pitch black but want to know what I should be looking for in the light tomorrow......

Might be a stone in the tyre.....Have a good look tomorrow and dig any out that are lodged in the tread.

Should solve the problem.

Might be the electronic relays there noisy and have been known to be faults before were the wipers or something electrical on intermitently?

 

[Tom_16v]

^^^ no, nothing was on.....and its getting louder now.

driving from 1-5mph it clicks more often (in time with each wheel revolution)

have checked the wheel/tyre and everything but cant find anything obvious.

then above 5/10mph it just stops (and i dont think its just cos I cant hear it)

defo on the front left as I noticed while driving earlier...

any more suggestions?

gonna be ohone the dealer tomorrow......

Is the noise coming from the relay thingy box in the roof? That makes a clicking sound!

 

[Tom_16v]

^^^
not coming from the roof no, definately from somewhere low down at the front left......

Ah, had a similar thing before, turned out to be with the ABS sensor, cant remember exact fault but thats what it was.

 

[Moby]

does the 1.2 dynamique have ABS?

 

[Tom_16v]

^^^ yes it does so it might be that.

will get it checked out

cheers mike
