resonating noise
My S80 2000 manual has developed a funny resonating/pulsating noise at speeds more than 40MPH, increases with speed and does not change when clutch depressed. Gear change is very smooth. The car has done 140k. No major problems.
Any ideas what this could be? help please. Andrew |

Hi , Could be a wheel bearing or a tyre breaking down . Bearings usually make a pulsing whir and tyres can whir or thump . Can you locate the sound to a corner / wheel or is coming from the engine area . If it increases with the speed of the car (not the engine)then I'd suspect a wheel bearing .

If it is tyres (and they do play a big part in this) why not get the spare out and try it on each corner, see if it makes any difference ?
While you have each corner off the ground, you could waggle the wheels to see if any of them have a loose bearing ? Im assuming your also trying differend roads as some surfaces do generate noises (I know you probably checked this first, but you'd be surprises) |
