Hi All
I'm hoping someone can help me with an issue I'm having with my 2004 1.2 Panda Dynamic Dualogic.
I know noises are hard to diagnose on threads such as these, but I'll explain what is happening in the hope someone out there might have experienced the same as myself, or someone might have an idea what is causing the noise, and be able to point me in the right direction.
The noise is a rumbling, rattling, grinding, fast knocking noise that I can feel through the floor of the car. It has happened on several occasions now over the past 5 - 6 months, and seems totally random, once it happened when pulling away from a junction, another time it happened when cruising on a straight, another time when going round a bend. The noise seems like it is coming from the front, centre to nearside area of the underneath of the car. When the noise happens it lasts no more than about 5 - 6 seconds then goes away again. The car itself seems to drive fine and handles ok, I've checked obvious things like any loose bodywork, wheel nuts, exhaust, etc, but all seems fine. The one significant factor seems to be, and I'm pretty sure is, that the noise only happens when it's wet, I'm sure it has never done it when the weather has been dry. There also seems to be a very faint knocking noise, but can't be sure if this is general road bump noise, however the rumbling, rattling, fast knocking noise is very prominent within the car.
If any of you guys have any thoughts or ideas what this noise could be I'd be very grateful to hear them.
Many thanks in advance.
