Morning All
Appreciate the vans all rattle (well mine does!!) but this is a bit different, over the last month my van has developed a weird rattle / buzzing noise that comes from the centre of the dash by the bulkhead, at first I thought it was something that had slipped down, it wasn't unfortunately, I've been monitoring it over the last few weeks and it seems to be only when the van is well up to temperature and under lighter load, its only between 1.7k and 2.1k revs, and it more like a buzzing.
I run the van on premium fuel and had a major service at Midland VW in November, the only thing noted was that the aux belt/ tensioner was noisy, this has squeaked at start up for over a year now so kind of dismissing its this.
Van is a factory T32 Kombi 150 DSG and has done 68k
It does good runs most weeks and the noise has become more noticeable id say as I've not been using coasting mode on the gearbox so its holding revs around that mark when off the accelerator.
Not the best videos and ones a short as I held the phone the wrong way round!
Dark one here is last night after coming home after a 30 mile drive mainly motorway, you can here the buzzing as I come round the corner to the drive and when revving in to 2k
Second video is just now after a 2 mile drive to drop kids off and its not there.
Its pointing me to think it not a loose trim panel as its really consistent at those revs and situations.
I tried to look under the engine bay but my lad hasn't got the consistency to keep it at the desired revs!! but sounds lie its coming from the bullhead area, only noticeable thing is it can sound a bit gassy too at those revs like its got an air leak or a wet fart, got told they all sound like that thought!
Its had a new EGR Flexi and filters changed.
Any help / guidance appreciated, I Am getting the tensioner aux aux belt done this month but don't think its this.
If not does anyone want to buy a van as it drives me mad haha
