hi all my fiat uno car seems to have a ssshhhhing noise coming from the front right-hand side wheel. its so irritating to drive the car cause it gets louder as you accelerate!!! ;(

does anyone have an idea of what the problem might be, or how it can be fixed??

thanks [V]
 
before yo go to Fiat, have a look at the heat shield behind the wheel. Im not sure where it is on a Fiat Uno but it's probably behind the brake disc. If you tend to park half on the road half on the pavement, like me, you run the risk of catching the heat shield and bending it towards the wheel or brake disc. This can rub and make the sound you describe. A decent garage should just be able to bend it back for a tenner or so.

Pray to the God of Abarth - I hope your speed over your rivals and anyone else at the traffic lights
 
might be one of your brake pads sticking causing a slight rubbing on the disc, hence the noise
