jitsu579 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Ive developed a strange noise at the front end of my Audi A6 C7 2.0tdi, it comes and goes and doesn't sound like a wheel bearing more of a hollow wind type noise, anyone had any similar experiences? (Apologies for the noise description as I find it hard to describe) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Q Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Where exactly is it coming from on the front? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jitsu579 Posted January 15 Author Share Posted January 15 it feels like its right in front of me on the drivers side, but it could be anywhere across the front I suppose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasG Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 (edited) Does is sound like an owl hooting for a long time? Howling!? If so, I've had that twice. It's your bearing. Edited January 21 by ThomasG Added a better description Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jitsu579 Posted January 22 Author Share Posted January 22 Thanks for the reply thomas, the sound you describe is pretty much spot on. It is intermittent, depends on the road surface, usually kicks in over 50mph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasG Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I am an idiot. It's not your bearing, it's your caliper. Sorry. Giving out bad info. It's my age and memory 🙂 or constantly fixing the !Removed! car! To check, when it makes the noise, just touch your brake and if it goes away it's the blumming calliper Mine kicked in when going slower. In villages and setting off. Intermittent I agree. Had it twice from the front end both times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
