Fordski Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Hi Went for a spin in my Mk2 Vit this afternoon. Strange noise when engaging OD. I've noticed it before and its difficult to describe - sounds like a 'fluttering' or the sound paper makes when you tear it! Intermittent, tending to come on under acceleration though. I'm guessing electrical? Any ideas please. Thanks. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Are you certain its from the OD and not something making contact when accelerating torque is applied pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mishmosh Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Unlikely to be od. Fault. More likely something brushing. But check gearbox oil level anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordski Posted January 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 It only makes noise when OD engaged. But checking gearbox oil level is on my list to do. Thanks all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 the OD does have a series of bearing internally , the thrust race could give a whine but fluttering noises dosnt sound like any mechanical problem if the anulus planets are all out of line and were not fitted or 'timed' on a repair then than can set up a vibration noise as the load is runthro only 1 of the 3 gears inside. not fluttering though Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
