Wind Noise

[baz1631]

'afternoon gentlemen.Today's problem is: Getting a kind of "windy" noise coming from front o/s.when accelerating hard Sounds like the noise u would get when passing a fence, if that makes any sense!Any sensible answers would be appreciated.

I would imagine passing a fence would be quite painfull, so would not be suprised if you could hear a bit of wind. :-) acompanied by a large roar!

Have you had a good look around the area? It may be something has come loose, on an older car i had (not a rav) one of the brackets that held the bumper came loose which dropped the bumper down a little and allowed air to get above it and create a hissing noise..

You sure its not a stone or something stuck on the brake and scrapping as it rotates?

Any chance a window is cracked open ever so slightly, mucker, or jamming just before fully closed? Happened to me on a Carlton once...bit of gunge in lekky window track. Apologies...not meaning to treat you like an eejit...but, on second thoughts....

Have a good safe time and drive like an Oban person....NAW DON'T...DRIVE CAREFULLY.
