Annoying dash noise
« on: 09 February 2014, 09:56 »
600 miles covered and my GTD has developed a purring noise from the dash which occurs between 1500 - 2000 RPM. It also only happens when in sport mode. Has anyone else had this and if so what is the cure?

I had a dash buzz at around 1500-1700rpm when my car went in for suspension mount bearings. They said they couldn't detect a buzz and when I got my car back with new suspension mount bearings, the buzz was gone. Not convinced the 2 issues were related, but i'm happy enough not to have the issue any more.

Does it sound like this by any chance?

I've had that noise for quite a few months now. The car was in before Xmas and the dash was removed to try and determine what it was. They couldn't pinpoint the noise but thought that more sound proofing may resolve it but unfortunately it's not worked. I'm beginning to think it may be a faulty sound actuator but not 100% sure.

As with you it mostly happens to me when I'm in sport mode and under acceleration. It's infuriating  :angry:

Yeah it is annoying I will run it for another while to see if it stops, the thoughts of the dash out doesn't inspire me, I also think the tracking is out slightly as the sterling is a bit vague.

Could be a good call if it only happened in SPORT mode...

Why not turn the actuator off in vcds and see if the noise goes.

That's effectively what he's doing of he is not in SPORT mode but I guess with VCDS he could turn just the actuator off...

I would give it a go if I had vcds but I don't. I'll maybe pop in to the dealership when I get the time and get them to switch it off to see if that solves it
