Omega General Help / Re: Noise from rear (of car!)

« on: 23 September 2008, 20:01:33 »

Thanks for all that, folks - gives me a lot to think about.

I'm hoping it's brakes; it was stood at an indy dealers for a few weeks before I bought it so could be handbrake sticking.

The noise is audible rolling to a stop in neutral, though I haven't tried it with the engine switched off (need a quiet road and there don't seem to be any near me).

I'll check the brakes first - thanks once again.

Omega General Help / Noise from rear (of car!)

« on: 22 September 2008, 20:48:07 »

Hi,

Am new to the forum (and a bit of a technology numpty) so please forgive any mistakes!

I have a 2.2 GLS with 38000 on the clock. Car runs very well, it's very quiet but I've noticed a sort of whirring noise when the car is moving. The noise emanates from the back. It doesn't sound like something catching (brakes, say) and is only noticeable when you set off (up to 20mph or so) or when slowing down for the last couple of hundred metres.

My previous car was a '96 2.0 Omega and the engine made a racket so I never got to hear anything from the transmission. I'm not sure if this noise I'm hearing with the new one is a problem  :-?or just the usual noise the Omega transmission makes.

If anyone has any ideas I'd appreciate it.

Thanks.
