First post- I'm hoping some of you folks might shed some light on this. I've recently got a 2017 grand picasso 1.6hdi eat6. It's making a noise a bit like a bad bearing but only in 2nd gear between 17mph & 21mph. Its a rubbing/oscillating kind of noise (imagine rolling an oval egg over a wooden floor). I'm inclined to think it's a gearbox issue as it only happens in 2nd gear. I'm fearing a big autobox bill coming Any ideas? Next step I guess will be take it to a specialist Indy. Thanks |

Update- main dealer said it may be water pump. had a new timing belt and water pump fitted under warranty. Didn't fix it. The rubbing grinding noise now occurs at 1500rpm and increases frequency to a whine at 3000 rpm. It doesnt happen in neutral, only when I drive, so surely it's the gearbox. This one is starting to drive me crazy. 3rd time back to the main dealer I guess. |

By the way, Does anyone know- is it possible to use the citroen usedapproved warranty with an auto-box independent? Or is it robins and day only? Also If anyone knows of a good citroen specialist in London let me know Cheers |

Take the auxiliary belt off. Give it a five-minute drive and see if the noise is still there. That would narrow it down a bit. | ||

Thanks- If it was the aux belt/systems wouldn't it have made that noise revving in neutral? I dont understand engines a huge amount Cheers |

I'd take it back n that case, and say they done work to fix it but it's still there. | ||

Update- took it to a great independent garage. We took it round the block and they suggested its hard to say for sure but could be the driveshaft. Did a bit of googling and found this video - Click Here - So for anyone with this similar rotational noise- Most likely the driveshaft support bearing. |
