Hi, our Xsara has started to make a strange noise in the past month.
It appears to be coming from nearside front.
It is not engine speed related and it still makes the noise out of gear.
It is more prominent on a right hand bend but is still noticeable on straight especially decellerating (probably due to less engine noise).
At first it sounded like a aircraft overhead (but soon realised there wasn't ) and sounds like a continuous droneing noise.
Thought it might be the left wheel bearing but have jacked it up and rocket it up from top to bottom and left and right but there is no play. We also spun the wheel and seems to be no noise. Can wheel bearings dry so they make a noise without play?
The car is a 2003 Xsara HDi 110 and has only done 48,000 miles.
Does anyone know what it could be
