Hi all,
This is my first post on this forum. I have a 2010 1.2 Fiat 500L. I've been carrying out various work on it (cambelt kit...fixing the obligatory frayed boot loom etc).
One issue that is completely evading me is a "rumble" from the front nearside (left side sitting in the car) that only occurs when driving through standing water. Very often, there is a rumbling noise that last for upwards of 5 seconds after driving through the water.
I used the search function and found this thread on a very similar issue, but it hasn't rectified my problem.
As with the above thread, my issue only occurs in the wet, never in the dry. My theory is this is rapid cooling of the exhaust so I had the front of the car up on axle stands, let it get nicely up to temp and soaked the exhaust with a hose but could not reproduce it.
Please check out the following 18 second clip I took on a private road of the rumble.
I will add that I recently changed the exhaust hangers for new items.
Any thoughts on what could be causing this would be greatly appreciated as it's driving me mad!
