BioTriffid Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 Hi guys Been doing a lot of motorway driving lately and I think it's damaged something on the car it sounds like wheel bearing but with a juddering noise coming from the front of the car I've looked right over the car ie wheel bearings disc brakes suspension. Now I'm thinking about gearbox or the diff inside might be damaged I have oil to fill it up with to see if this helps but if anyone has any similar problems then please let me know Thanks kieran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 CV joint? If gearbox, you'd get a whining usually. If bearing, it gets louder as you go faster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BioTriffid Posted March 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 I'm just about to look at the shafts and cv's also topping up the gearbox oil for peace of mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mk2 Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 Welcome to CL! yeah, the auto box needs regular maintenance, just like the engine. All auto boxes do. Every 20k miles minimum. I'd suggest a full fluid change along with the internal oil filter and magnet clean. And as well as the fluid, you could change the oil in the diff section (and magnet clean), which everyone forgets. I bet it's never had its filter or fluids changed... noise= damage no drive= low fluid quiet= all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
