Whinning On 300tdi

darlo14 · Feb 17, 2007

Hi all ,on my 300tdi im getting a whinning noise sounds like a failing bearing when the speed hits 50mph it is more noticable but when i take my foot of the gas it stops .ive discounted wheel bearing as this would be constant noise ,diff or transfer box ???? any help would be appriciated.

Does it happen when you are in certain gears?

Mine does this when i'm in fifth gear, again it stops when I take my foot off the accelerator.

I'd guess thrust bearing on the clutch or ley shaft bearing...good luck chap...

Cheers for the imput ,are they big jobs to do,ie expensive.would that mean a new clutch.the ley shaft i no nothing about.

To be honest, I cure mine by turning the radio up !, ignorance being bliss!!! It only happends in 5th on mine, so I hv'nt worried too much about it.

i'd agree with it being clutch bearing - changing is a bit of a pain in the arse. if you don't have a garage and the right tools and lifting kit it is probably easier to pay a garage to do it. but it could possibly last for a good while without causing any problems.
