annoying noise

[jimthebin]

please forgive this post but it is hard to describe a noise

when i drive my van seems to have a very low dull beating noise, it sounds like a metal sheet is wafting as we drive along.

it doesn't happen at any particular speed or revs and its gets so loud that is is hard to speak to the person on the passenger seat

when you apply the clutch when it starts to happen it contiunes but alot quieter,


juist to note my van is tuned and the front wheel bearings have just been replaced


thinkings hats on

If the front wheel bearings have been replaced, have they been set up according to your manual or according to the local mechanic or worse still, MOT tester. If so then they will have a short but happy life.

Does it still make the noise when the front cold air vents are closed?

 

[jimthebin]

If it a quite load deep thud, its a long shot but it could be coming from the front beam. Try pumping it full of grease and see if you still get the sound after driving it fo a bit :wink:

is there any vents, windows open? sometimes you get a thudding noise wneh the windows are open or a vent slightly cracked open.
