Odd Noise

Post by OwenP »

OK, on my girlfriends C3 when freewheeling there is an odd noise almost like a bit of card clacking through spokes. The car does this when braking as well.

It is about 10 months old ~6000 miles and is the executive model 1.6 petrol with triptronic gearbox.

Any ideas on what this could be?

Cheers

If the car is 10 months old its still under full warranty. Meaning if you remove even a simple plastic lug retainer you may ruin the warranty.
Consult the garage where the C3 was purchased and invite them for a testdrive.

Could be just about anything :
tyres
brakes
electric cable riding on a wheel or driven part
bad part in the drivetrain
...

you name it ?

you should go to your main agent as the car will still be under warenty,and if you tamper with it you could void this

This time of the year - autumn - leaves all over.
Have you checked the cabin air intake and blower ?
Try first set blower on low or full speed to determine if the sound originates from there :wink:
