Hi Bezza owners, do you experience some faint low frequency rumbling noises when your are lugging the highest gear? (1.3 AT)
For example your are 60-70km/h on a flat road with minimal throttle. Then you start climbing a very slight highway gradient or maybe an overpass, you are extremely easy on the throttle and do not input more. So, the rpm is about 1200-1300 (now about 50-55km/h) as you climb the slight gradient, there will be some very faint and bassy rumbling (brrrrr/grrrrrr). Sometimes the sound stays or even gets slightly louder (still quite soft but its there) if you try to put more throttle but still not enough. Need to jab it above an inch. Either that or make it downshift...
It also stops when the speed drops to 50- and it down shifts. Basically this happens when you are in highest gear but not giving enough power to the engine.
Currently 3rd day with car. Previous experience with this kind of noise was with a Volvo, and it was never solved until the day the gearbox died. After replacement sound was completely gone. Quite worried
How long is the warranty on our gearbox/engine?
Ps. I know lugging the engine is bad, I dont do it often, nevertheless, the sound shouldn't be there or is it just the characteristic of the engine? Need some feedback before going to SC, just in case they say 'this is normal', need to know where to stand...
i drive my gf car .. lets say drive up to 80-90kmh, then release accelerator and let it cruise will have wind sound(feel from dashboard).. but once i lightly step on the accelerator then no sound. release accelerator then go sound again .. weird.For example your are 60-70km/h on a flat road with minimal throttle.
