Thanks again. Oil is due a change so perhaps that hasn't helped. Not that it makes much difference but I won't sell the car privately, but PX it instead. You are always very generous with your time and replies. Thanks again

Great explanation thanks Nodge. Guessing an oil change wont help now? At the risk of getting some flak, is there a cheap option to temporarily stop/lessen the noise? We are just about to sell the FL2 and dont want to spend anymore money on it. Sorry if this makes me come across as a bad person.

Thanks Nodge Car is on 145K Not sure what a valve gear is but I will Google it. Any ideas how much it will cost to repair, and is it suddenly likely to go bang causing lots of other damage, or just another noise to turn the radio up and drown out:)? Thanks as always

2009 FL2 TD4 has just started making a strange noise. Cant quite tell where it's coming from but I think it's the left hand side of the engine bay. Can hear it underload or idle. Dont believe it's the electronic throttle body as I replaced that fairly recently. Car seems to drive same as...

Now fixed with a 2nd hand replacement parking control module. For the benefit of anyone else experiencing this issue, it is both cheaper and MUCH easier to swap the parking control module first, than having to take off both bumpers and individually swap parking sensors. If only I had know I...

Thanks for the offer Nodge, but I got one off of fleebay yesterday. Fingers crossed it's ok.

Thanks both for the replies. Nodge - good luck with the more pressing issues. Hippo - i'm sure I read on another forum thread that it needed re-programming but cant now find the post to reference it. Will take a punt on a 2nd hand one from ebay and see what happens.

Did anyone resolve this? I have same symptoms so purchased replacement sensor and yesterday spent the day removing the front and rear bumpers swapping sensors out hoping to resolve the issue without success, so I now think the module must be faulty. I located the module and reseated all...

Thank you. WIll do.

Sorry if answered many times before. My parking sensors are currently innoperative, presumably because 1 is faulty (or controller module is duff, but i'm goinf for the easy/cheap option first). I want to buy one and then start swapping the sensors one by one unitl hopefully they all start...

Just to close this thread out for anybody searching with the same problem in the future wanting to know how it was resolved: Took vehicle to Bell Engineering today (4 hour round trip) for Austen to complete a "Haldex 4/5 Judder Fix - Recalibration". Price = £450 + £25 for a rear diff oil...

Thanks Nodge. The Evoque set are only 4 wheels so I will have to keep one of the HSE rims as a spare, and as mentioned will need new tyres and ideally a refurb, though structurally I believe them to be sound. If I get the other wheels I will take some pitures and drop you a PM.

Tyres need replacing and alloys need refurbisihing on my 2009 FL2 HSE before the MoT in 2 weeks time. Not looking to spend £800 on that as the car is going to Bell to get the Haldex fixed (hopefully) next month which will be £500+, subsequently I am thinking of getting a hald decent pre-owned...

Thanks for the replies. No droning from the rear, so assume rear diff if OK. The car is driving wonderfully without the fuse (haldex) so hopefully getting it fixed will resolve my issue. I was incorrect about the £450 for replacement Haldex. Actually it covers "haldex reset, recalibrate...

Thanks Nodge Austen has quoted £475 to replace the Haldex. We love the car and I cant find anything for sale at reasonable money that would replace it so maybe we will look at keeping it.Think I iwll drive it to Bell, get him to check it over and if he thinks it is only the Haldex get him to do...
