I own a 2011 Maruti zen manual which has done 75,000 kms. I hear a grr. Grr. Grr sound from the front of the vehicle when trying to accelerate in second, third, fourth and fifth gears under very little throttle at low RPM. I hear this sound in second gear at 25 kmph, in third gear at 40 kmph, in fourth 60 kmph speed.

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.

First, this model is not offered in the US, so my technical information is limited. However, it sounds like you are describing a bad wheel bearing. When you hear the noise, try this. Turn the vehicle quickly from left to right and back. Note if there is a change in the sound. For obvious reasons, make sure you are in an area where there is no traffic. LOL

Let me know,
Joe
