Strange Vibration Noise

[Dukey28]

I’ve got a 65 plate 83k miles only bought it 3 weeks ago and I've noticed a strange vibration noise at around 1400 rpm and lasts til about 1600 then just stops.

it doesn’t do it in neutral only when in gear and driving, no noise or judder when setting off, I can’t feel the vibration through the clutch pedal or steering wheel, if I accelerate gently then it doesn’t make the noise but if i accelerate as I normally would then it does, it’s quieter in 1st and the most loud in 4th and 5th is so quite I’m not sure if it’s actually doing it, doesn’t do it down hill only on flat or up hills, when going up hill it’s not any worse.

Any ideas, it’s annoying... gears feel fine no issue getting it in gear, drive shafts are fine, exhaust all fine as I’ve just had to have a new flex fitted as that was making a noise.

It’s definitely coming from the engine bay just no idea where as to hear it I have to be driving! The garage couldn’t find where it was coming from either

Sorry for the long post but thought I would give the best description possible.

I have posted this on the Facebook group so apologies if you’ve seen this already, I’m just trying to get some ideas

TIA

You can record the the noise on you phone...

Set it up in the engine bay while recording...and go for a quick drive...

Post your video/audio here..


At first I was thinking tacking or tyre wear.... but that's more speed related.

DMF is also possible but you say I doesn't do it in neutral...

So need a bit more to work on now.

A video clip of the engine bay noise will help greatly.

Thanks I’ll get this sorted, I also think I may have found the culprit if this isn’t it I’ll get a video up

Ok so i thought the problem was gone, but nope its back, more prominent in 4th up hill sounds worst, the noise actually starts at 1200 RPM and ends at 1400 RPM in 4th it starts at 1200 and ends at about 1500-1600 if going up hill otherwise it stops at 1400 RPM. I've posted a video on youtube of the noise i've videoed it inside the cab, theres some background noise but at the 14 second mark you can clearly hear it, that is in 4th going up hill. No vibration felt through the clutch pedal but i can feel something slightly through the accelerator. Again no noise on idle or when revving. if i press and depress the clutch again no rattles, clutch feels fine, shifts gears perfect. Im puzzled, id take it to a garage but i really don't have the money to spend on diagnosing the issue at the moment never mind the parts and labour...

Thank you in advance

theres too much backround noise, - its not clear.

try another video with the phone in the engine bay?

or another video with the phone showing the dash clocks.

i darent risk the phone in the engine bay, ill try the clocks but im guessing it will have the same result, im listening on PC so its much easier to hear, either that or what i think isn't normal, is...

Ok I’ve finally got round to doing another video, the noise if very obvious in this one if there’s too much background now then what I’m hearing can’t be an issue haha

For the record I wasn’t filming

Hi, I’m experiencing similar issues and suspect drive shafts. I’m hoping there’s a fix out there that won’t break the bank too!
