Tick on acceleration, another problem!

Wazza26 · 01-18-2014, 10:16 AM

Yet another problem with the 325i!

Anyone got any ideas?

Sound appears to be coming from underneath me, although it could be anywhere. I was around 1,600 to 2,000 RPM in that video.....

Sounds like transmission noise to me. Drive shaft or diff on the way out..?

Not what i wanted to hear.

Mine did this, was a rear shock knocking!

check the universal joints on the prop shaft or could be one of the drive shafts either side of the diff.

Had a similar noise on mine - turned out to be a loose propshaft bearing. Once tightened, no issue. Hope it's that!

Rather hope it's something lose.

Noticed it (although a different type of tapping) whilst driving today.

i had the same noise (also 325i) and the drive shaft needed greasing (thats what BMW told me as still under warranty).

Think it was like £140 fitted the pair.

I'm at a bit of a lose end.

I took it to BMW and they can't find any faults?

Anyone got any ideas? Can anyone recommended a decent garage in the Oxford or Gloucester area?
