All,

My First Edition has just gone over the 1k miles mark. The rear suspension has been fixed and no creaking noises. Now another potential problem! There is a distinct fairly loud and audible whistling sound when you accerale in the car. It's not like any turbo sound I hear heard before, and appears to be an issue when accerating at low or high speed.

Has any ones else experience this sound? The engine is a 3.0d v6 AWD 300 bhp.

Would appreciate your thoughts or sharing your experience.

Kind regards,

G

Hi G

I noticed that same noise on my second drive in the demonstrator (3.0d).

I also have something similar in my RRE which is linked to the AC (ie it disappears when I turn the AC off)

Try that ....

On my previous Audi I had a similar sound which was tracked down to the Audio System and the noise cancelling system (GALA) which was active even when displaying the Nav or vehicle information. As the engine and road noise increased so the system responded.

Perhaps try turning the ICTP off completely and see if that resolves the issue?

If it's anything like the sound I heard in the 3.0d demonstrator it sounds like something spinning fast.

It definitely wasn't there the first time I drove it but was the second (around a month later with 2000 miles on the clock)

Hello!

I have a more of a rattling noise (hard to explain) during acceleration in my 3.0D F-Pace. I have uploaded a short video to youtube

where I have tried to capture the noise. It's a bit hard to hear, much more obvious in real life.

Is it similar to yours sound?

Regards,
Magnus.

I noticed this on three separate test drives in 3.0l diesels. The salesman was aware of it too... What they call in the trade 'a characteristic'.... Which is why, or at least one of the reasons, I went for the petrol...

Yes that's it .. like you say much more noticeable when you are in the car .....

 

[JLRnumber5]

Does turning the AC off have any effect?

Anyone else experiencing this noise (as per YouTube video link) above.

Would be interested to know if it's indeed a characteristic of the 3.0d (although strange it develops after a few 000 miles)

My 3.0d doesn't make that noise after approx 2000 miles. The demonstrator that I drove didn't make the noise either.
The 3.0d is a development of the engine I had in my Discovery 4. I had that for 3 years without the noise.

 

[Magnus]

@JLRnumber5: I turned the AC off but the noise remained.

@HS60: Thanks, that was a relief to here! Based on your feedback I assume we can expect this noise to be fixed by the dealer.

I have already mentioned the problem to my dealer (I have had it since day 1) and we agreed on that I shall come back after the vacation, i.e. beginning of August, to check it up.

@Gmalhi: Have you talked with your dealer regarding the noise?

Ragards,
Magnus.

No problem, I'll update this topic as I progress (even though it probably will take a few weeks).

I've had this ever since getting my 3ltr diesel 1st ed. it also appeared on the demo I took out.

I would be interested to see how you get on and what they say!

Hi Stocks. What has your dealer said about it. Some on here claim it's a characteristic of the 3.0d. Others say they don't have it. It was very noticeable on the demo I drove.

 

[TBW]

Hi all,

3.0D, same noise here.. seems to be the common rail's injectors... poor sound insulation.

 

[JLRnumber5]

So that's interesting that some 3.0d owners claim not to have the 'issue'.

Any 3.0d owners sure they don't have this sound?

 

[Pos.k]

maybe I have it but can't hear it over the creaking...and the subwoofer!

Could you take a listen and let me know? It's not intrusive but it's noticeable. It was on both demonstrators I drove. Yet some claim not to have it. Others say it's a characteristic of the car. Would like to know which as it's going on my checklist for PDI!

Thanks

Same here on my new f-pace (just picked it up last week). Just mildly frustrating hearing that when accelerating.

Going home on the freeway I thought I heard it disappear as I was accelerating on a hairpin bend, only to come back when I straightened again. Will be testing it some more and book it into to have it looked at.

Can anyone else verify the same? Or has anyone had theirs fixed?

 

[MikeN]

Bump. Does no one else have an update on this, or is my car only one of a few making this noise too? Did you get yours looked at Magnus?

I've noticed that the rattling noise is far louder on cooler mornings. I can even hear it slightly when cruising, but it's most significant when accelerating. It makes for a noisy ride that I can even hear over the stereo, which is saying something.

I'm getting mine looked at on Monday, but was hoping someone else might have had an update before then...
