chas Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Hi all- I have a 2litre peugeot turbo boxer coachbuilt with 6000 on the clock 18months old still under warranty and have started to hear a noise when turning right going round bends, and to a lesser degree on left turns. This only seems to occure after about 1-2hours driving or around say 100 miles. The noise is very difficult to describe, but can only be described as a high growling sound, but not too loud. Anyone have a clue what it may be, I know if I take it into the Peugeot dealer they will not hear it with just a short run around the block. The motorhome runs a treat otherwise, but if I had a clue on where to tell them to look, it may perhaps help them. Thanks for any help, Chas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 First thought would be CV joints on drive shafts, but after 1-2hr drive? Try it on as tight a turn as you can get, it might show up straight away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Kirby Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 OK, I give in! But take it back to the dealer anyway, and get it looked at. It's under warranty, so even if they can't find the problem, it's presence will be recorded on their system. That should stand you in good stead if whatever it is doesn't actually fail until just after that warranty has expired! They do, you know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chas Posted September 2, 2006 Author Share Posted September 2, 2006 Thanks everyone, yes I will be taking it in for them to check over, its one of those annoying faults that does not show itself when needed to, you never know it may be well known by the Peugeot garages, with another 18months left of warranty I will be keeping a close eye and ear out.

Dave Newell Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Hi Chas, perhaps you could take it for a two hour round trip just before visiting the dealers to improve the chances of it occurring? It's just as frustrating from the other side of the coin you know. Customer comes in with an occasional or intermittent fault but it won't happen in the workshop. The mechanic/electrician (or whatever) can spend untold time searching for something but if it won't show itself it often can't be fixed without resorting to trial and error. D.
