I've noticed this only twice but if I go round a corner (~90*) at some speed, the car makes a 'bong' sound. It's the same sound it makes when you leave the handbrake on or the door isn't fully shut. It's only made the sound once on the two occasions this has happened.
Any idea what this is?
No indication on the screen.

Did you have anything on the passenger seat???
If so then it would be the seat belt warning. :smiley:
-
I have had a"bong" noise which is the same as the handbrake noise when accelerating hard on very rough road surfaces.
That probably doesn't help you, but i guess confirms to you that others also experience this noise!

mine does that when i am driving on its limit..... it tells me to calm down.

maybe the esp playing the trick. Try it without and see if you can get it to re-produce, without loosing control in doing so of course. :smiley:
-
a warning noise telling your about to take off so put your seatbelt on
:laugh: :evil:
-

:shocked:
yes im endangering loosing fluids here too after that photo! :drool:
-
Rofl. Anyway had a sit on the throne and suddenly thought about fluids. Is it possible that I swung so fast round the corner, it made it appear like there was low fuel/washer fluid/oil?

could be, tis important to have plenty of fluids before going somewhere private :wink:

I've heard it once when I took a roundabout a bit quick too enthusiastic. I also wondered what it was, but have not been able to reproduce it since no matter how fast progressive I drive.

probably hit a badger or sumit!
-
could it be the washer fluid out bong?
Just a wild theory but when you hammer round the bend the sensor detects that there is no fluid? :laugh:
-
Like I've said, it's happened only twice and because I was going round the corner at speed, my eyes were on the road, not on the dashboard. When I've looked down at the dash after the corner, there's no warning light or anything.
Will try and swing round really hard tonight and see what happens.
-
Could it be
Low washer sensor as washer liquid thrown to one side
Low Oil Sensor warning as sump oil thrown to one side
Seatbelt warning from the passenger side sensor being activated from the seat moving slightly?
-
wish i had a bong everytime i go round a corner.
anyway, checked your oil level?
