hi

 

got a funny noise on my vw sharan,,,

 

when decellerating i.e with foot of the pedal, i get a strange rumbling noise from the front of the car from 40 down to 20 mph!!

 

as soon as i hit the pedal again the noise stops until i lift off again, ive tried it in nuetral but its the same ,, its an auto box.

 

could it be the wheel bearing,, ?

 

seems strange only when coasting!!!!

Wierd... got any other symptoms? Such as vibration, clunking, knocking noise on full lock, etc?

 

Is yours a 2.3? These are prone to engine mount problems.

 

:(

Nope! been there done that, and threatened to punch the mechanics lights out after I found the problem and he didnt! and he originally took the wheels off and replaced them during a service, and then reported the noise to me after a test drive saying that the the drive shafts, CV's had gone :(

I wonder how much money this site has saved people. I mean, VR6 - If you had just taken his word for it (and weren't a hands-on person), youd be well out of pocket. Damn, the mechanic might not have even done the work, just tightened the nuts up over a cup of coffee.

 

The amount of gimps with wrenches calling themselves 'Mechanics' - its de-graded the profession.
