Hi guys,

Hoping someone can help me with a noise I've started hearing today. It's the weekend so can't get it into a mechanic for a few days and need to know if I should stop driving it.

The noise is a whoaa whoaa whoaa sound coming from the front right of the car (under).

The car does not make the noise when I am accelerating or braking. Only when it's coasting.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks
Mark

Hi Mark,

Does the sound chance when turning? Your description sounds like a bad wheel bearing. If the noise is coming from the right, see if it gets more intense if you turn left or seems to lessen when turning right.

Let me know.

Joe
