whining from passenger side

TeflonTom · 03-11-2007, 11:59

i seem to have developed a whining noise that comes from the passenger side, it only happens when swmbo is in the the car, it happened last night on the way to portsmouth and then again on the way home, strange thing is it completely goes away when she isn't in the car... please help!!

or is the problem all in my mind?? i definitly think i should have got the yellow fabia now

Probably just a characteristic of the model you've got. QC on them is quite poor and some are more whiney than others. If you can afford it, you could try getting a DIV-ORCE lead so you can log and reset the faults. Won't be cheap getting one of those though.

I find Gaffer Tape, or Ear plugs helpful . But as I have recently developed selective Amnesia I find that this is also a suprising bonus.

I find, the faster I go the quieter the whine/squeek becomes.

Or you could try the old favourite, turn the radio up untill you can't hear it.

sounds pretty serious mate - gutted for you tbh....

A proper decat and free-flow exhaust should help sort it....

You lot wanna thank yourself lucky it's only when your in the car!!!

Mines like a ringing in my ears that just won't go away. I tried one of those DIVORCE things, cost a fecking fortune, didn't really cure the problem either - It's like trying to find a rattle in the dashboard, just when you think you've cured it you hear it again.

My passenger side giggles and squeals when SWMBO is in the car.

For the Fabia and other VW family models with the strange sounds coming from the passenger side, to attempt a diagnosis, you need VAGUE.COM.

Your very lucky I have perminate whining noises - which stop every morning when i leave for work, only comes back when the back door is opened at 6 oclock - loud Pink floyd helps with the problem thou

Thing is that BEFORE you get married - it starts with moaning noises coming from the backseat with the handbrake engaged.
Then it's whining noises from the passenger seat, and then finally all sorts of loud screaming noises from all seats!
Have you tried a letter of complaint to SUK? Lemme know how it goes, eh?....

Crazy thing is that when you change or rent a car it is there too.

Must be all manufacturers.

Crap cars these days.
