I get the same whine when I push the car hard. I haven't taken the car to high speeds, but when I do I'll try to get sound clips of the noises my car makes. It sounds like it's more of an X problem.

 

Hey dunhill I think I have the noise you are speaking of that isnt' the tires and not the rattle but the other one. It's not annoying right? Because originally when I first got the car I thought it was the engine but when you put it in neutral it doesn't make it-right? If so mine has that noise as well, I assumed it was part of the awd system of the car. Mine isn't loud or annoying or anything though...

 

Yeah Aquill, but its intermittent though right? A high pitched whine?

I still think it's part of the AWD system....
I need to check the TSB's and see what they have for 05's

 

BTW..........mines an 02 racer..........its really annoying the hell outta me......although it only happens for a short while every now n again........Its not right!

Cheers
JC

 

Ok, found 2 TSB's:
1. Drive shaft vibration-says to check for green line on rear diff flange (if not aligned, you have a problem)
2. Sound transfer from transmission.-- (install deadining liner)

 

Cool, thanks racer......I'll keep it mind

JC

 

The 02's a few more, hold on I'll check, for some reason I thought you had an 05 too...

 

ok, the same TSB applies to the 02's. Don't see anything else for road noise...

 

Thanks bud.........appreciate it.
I have to keep that in mind for next time.....warranty's running out...........slow but sure

JC

 

I don't think it's an AWD thing since my car does it too!

 

Whatever it is.........I just need to get it gone. Obviously its not s'posed to be there and not good for the vehicle long term. Apart from that its doin my head in!
lol

The noise is intermittent and not that loud. It goes away in neutral. It is not engine related at all. In drive, it almost sounds like a whininig noise at lower speeds and a rattle. Now, it doesn't do it all the time....I will have the dealer look at it.

 

Well Dunhill, I wish you better luck than me.
I took mine to the dealer and they had it o/nite as the prob was intermittent. Went back and they said that they couldn't fault the car.......lol.........for diagnostic check and "loan car" cost me £103.......and still no further forward, so beware!

Jim,

I will let you know if I can get anywhere with the noise i am experiencing. I am planning on taking the car for 40K service soon...

 

Cool

JC

 

Jim,

40k is the next service interval, right? That is what Jaguar told me....

 

[/align][/align]If you own an XJ or XK, you should get your vehicle serviced every 10 000 miles or every 12 months, whichever is the sooner. If you own a petrol S-TYPE or X-TYPE, you should get your vehicle serviced every 10 000 miles or every 12 months, whichever is the sooner.If you own a diesel S-TYPE, you should get your vehicle serviced every 15 000 miles or every 12 months, whichever is the sooner. If you own a diesel X-TYPE, you should get your vehicle serviced every 12 500 miles or every 12 months, whichever is the sooner.[/align][/align]Jim C

i got about 1K miles until 40K. I will have it serviced and then have to look at all the little nagging things along with the noise from tranny..

 

Its gonna be tough for me to keep track of where I am....lol
The car's nearly 4 and a half years old.......(looks about maybe 2 years old though - good condition) and only has 18.5k on the clock. When I bought it about 5 months ago it had just been serviced, so I guess it'll be getting done again in about 6-7 months time.
