Hi everyone, me again! I have another mind boggler for you! :lol:
A new one on me, but ever since the return from PJ Grady I've noticed a noise in whilst driving along that I don't recall hearing before? No - it's not the wife before anyone say's it! :lol:
Unsurprisingly, I don't have a "technical term" for it, but to me it sounds kind of like a whooshing/whirring sound!?!? It doesn't seem to occur at any specific time that I can tell (for example accelerating). However, there does appear to be a bit of a pattern to it. The noise will only last for a few seconds, stop briefly for a second and repeat again. It may not then happen for another few mins, but it will always follow that sequence of start-stop-start-stop... I will tend to expect this to happen now on a typical short journey maybe at least a dozen times?
My best guess is it is a relay, as the noise seems to be coming from that area. Although, I've heard the RPM relay engage upon initial start up and it doesn't sound anything like that, this is much louder! :?
Doesn't seem to effect performance at all and there are no other signs of trouble as a result! Hmmm...
Sorry, just read that back, quite a shocking description, hope someone can make some sense of it!! :oops:
Cheers
Best regards
Carl
