Guest Skrema Guests Posted 14/12/07 12:02 AM Share Posted 14/12/07 12:02 AM Hey guysI am staring to notice a rather loud swooshing noise coming from my car at low speeds. I hadn’t driven my car for a couple of days as I don’t need to anymore living closer to the city but pulling into the car park this morning it was very noticeable. Much louder than my exhaust note to be honest. Any ideas what it could be and I can start looking at these parts of the car. I can only think of the brakes ever doing this but the sound doesn’t stop when my foot is on the pedal and the pads are engaged.Anyway once again any help would be much appreciatedThanks Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/40575-swoosh-swoosh-swoosh/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
