craig blackburn Member 2 Member For: 11y 11m 29d Posted 24/02/13 08:12 AM Share Posted 24/02/13 08:12 AM Hey folks,A question from someone who has never owned an XR6 before. I have just acquired a beautiful silver 2011 non turbo XR6 with 25,000ks on the clock. But the engine, or some part of the car, makes a muffled sound that could either be the engine throbbing or kind of like there's something stuck in a tyre and I can hear it hitting the road every time the tyre goes round. The sound is louder after putting some power down and then letting the car coast for a bit. This is a bloody stupid question I know but can anyone tell me if the engine is supposed to make that sound or could I have a problem?Thanks to anyone willing to waste their time responding.

Just run your hand around them and have a good look then move the car and check the remaining patch. I doubt anything wrong with the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If everything drives normal and appears normal than good chance its all good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My one had a tear in it and made a similar sound at speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
