Title: Is this a first?
Post by: 2 of the left on March 21, 2015, 23:05
It's been a few weeks since I've needed to put the 2 on a Motorway, but Friday I was on M27 and easing up to 70ish when I heard the engine giving a slight staccato sound and felt a vibration through the steering wheel that was in unison with the sound I was hearing. It wasn't a heavy noise, more in the background, if anything - Once I throttled back it disappeared  s:?: :?: s:?:    s:( :( s:(    s:?: :?: s:?:  Any suggestions? Could it be that the MAF needs cleaning?

Bloody hell! Your starter for 10   s:lol: :lol: s:lol:  
At that speed it's getting light on the front end.
Are you sure the noise is from the engine and not say the tyres?

Now you've got me fretting - I'll check treads and pressures in daylight tomorrow But was convinced noise was from engine
