mrkieran23 Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 So i have a grinding kinda noise on the Zed, its a 54 with 43k on the clock, for the last few weeks been feeling / hearing a grinding noise low revs under mild acceleration, had the car up on the ramps today and had a look and found this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRYlE7CWrA0 This is the noise i can hear and i can feel through the car, through the pedals in every gear, 1st and 2nd more so we they are pulling away gears mostly used. It didn't do this to begin with and doesnt always do it but its there more often that not. Can anybody shed some light on this? i have RAC warranty and have owned the car for just over 1 month, got it from a car dealer. Look forward to thoughts. Quote
a2orry Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Remove the shaft and check out the universal joints Quote
ZMANALEX Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Preowned prop shafts are in stock if required. Just drop me a PM if I can help further. Alex. Quote
mrkieran23 Posted June 10, 2015 Author Posted June 10, 2015 That's good to know, ideally would like to know if mine sounds to be not normal before I start looking at changing Quote
mrkieran23 Posted June 11, 2015 Author Posted June 11, 2015 any more takers on this? could really do with thoughts from experience Quote
GIXXERUK Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 uj on the prop ? have you checked them for play ? otherwise it could be the thrust bearing collapsing, difficult to tell from the vid Quote
mrkieran23 Posted June 11, 2015 Author Posted June 11, 2015 This is my first zed and first RWD hat i have had to look at so im not 100% what im looking for although i intend on learning. I was in the car when the video was being taken so didn't check for play. Should there be any play in the shaft? or a little? to be honest i'm really looking for the definite answer of "no this shaft shouldn't sound like this" once i'm 100% i can look to into fixing or replacing. Anybody have an idea on rough price of these new n pre-owned? i know i can PM the above member Quote
evilscorp Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 (edited) Worn flywheel?? As a2orry said, take the prop off, not a hard job and will confirm if it's the joints (just remember to mark up which way it came off) Edited June 11, 2015 by evilscorp Quote
mrkieran23 Posted June 25, 2015 Author Posted June 25, 2015 Well took it back to where i got it from and they had a look at it, they cannot see anything obvious but they say its coming from the gearbox. Good news, gearbox is covered under warranty so finger crossed lol Quote
ZMANALEX Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Pre owned gearboxes are in stock at the moment and good to go same/next day. Just drop me a PM if I can help further. Alex. Quote
mrkieran23 Posted July 18, 2015 Author Posted July 18, 2015 Well turns out that the she needed the big ans small bearing within the gearbox replacing. Got the car back now and all done Quote
