Fault: Odd noise around 55-65 km, you can hear it clear on this vid, it stops when you take your foot off the accelerator pedal, makes the noise maintaining gentle acceleration to maintain speed. http://www.youtube.com/watch!v=5pgeQKa93Lk

if only under load, could be diff or gearbox ,check oils etc

Check the diff oil is my guess.

Its a front wheel drive automatic, I assume the only fluid I can check is the automatic tranny fluid, which is at the full mark, was also changed less then 10,000ks ago and is still a nice clean red colour.

Any decent garage will take it for a 5 minute drive around the block and give you a general idea, for no charge.

Its asking for more fuel

Hehe, are you insinuating that it has a thirst for lots of fuel! well. it does.

I think the issue is a final drive bearing noise. as the noise stays the same no matter which gear I manually change to at 60km, noise stops when I take load off. would think a wheel bearing would keep making a noise. Does anyone know if these auto trannys have separate diff oil!

No, he's saying he noticed the gauge in the video.

If it's road speed related, not engine speed, then you're on the right track - it must be somewhere between (and including) the secondary shaft in the transmission and the wheels. The fact it disappears with reduced load indicates a gear face. The fact it does it in any gear at the same road speed indicates differential.

Oh, and it could still be a bearing as helical gears develop an axial load.

Would be nice if I found that the tranny has diff oil separate to tranny oil and that it just needed some. I'll check out that option tomorrow though.

$$$$$$ sounds expensive that's what it could be, could be any number if things, maybe a bearing has collapsed and is being supported by the others until a specific load is put on it, its best to just replace the transmission

Have you put her on a hoist and seen if it does it when off ground!Ie have her running and in gear etc but not touching floor mate

Try the inner cvs for movement. You may have to put it on a hoist to find out if its got a problem. if it is stuffed see if theres still a sticker with a number on the axle as there are a few different ones. this will make ordering the right axle easier. there is also a ID label in the wheel well in the boot with the engine and g,box codes on it.

Update: The diff oil has now been checked, its a nasty silver colour (fill of metal shavings) is being sucked out and replaced with clean oil, however this might only buy some time.
