Bong on corners
« on: 21 September 2008, 21:39 »
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?

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!

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:

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?
