Hey,
I've got this strange noise coming from somewhere it sound's like the front of the car, when I'm sitting at traffic lights or stopped after a bit of a drive, the car makes a moaning sound. It's hard to describe the noise, it's like an old rusty fly screen door closing slowly i suppose. I can make the noise go away by putting it into neutral. Is it the diff the transmission or something different?? I also get it when I'm turning left as well. But maybe the turning left is the power steering. Thanks for any help. |

Some times you can get a reverbrance when sitting in "D" through the exhaust manifold heatshield ... and you can get a vibration ... which does go away when shifting to "N" or "P".
Then again ... you might have a manual ... so shouldn't make a difference as revs shouldn't change when shifting to neutral when on the clutch.

And it's an auto. |

It only just got a new full 2.5" exhaust put on it, before it didn't do this, now with the exhaust on it does.

Since I had my 2.5" put on the tip is rubbing against the bumper as it vibrates. Putting it into neutral fixes it.
I think it might be a shonky engine mount or similar I need to get under and have a good look. Let me know how you go. |

check the rubber mounts on the exhaust, if one brakes or stretches, it can cause the exhaust to hit the body and vibrate, or just a shocking install of the exhaust system
