Hello there,
I’ve ever been on a forum before so please bear with me.
I really need some help before I go to the dealer.
I have a 2014 Skoda Yeti 2.0D 140 DSG 4x4 approx 45k miles.
The problem I’ve had since buying it 1 year ago with 32k miles is a hollow sort of humming/howling (can't think of better words to describe it) from the rear when cruising at speeds above 55-60mph in any gear that gets louder the faster I go, however If I apply power it instantly stops, cruise or remove power and its very noticeable, I can literally play it like an instrument using the throttle.
I’ve had the wheel bearings checked and they are OK, Cornering makes no difference to the noise.
The Haldex oil and filter got changed 6 months ago, it made no difference at all.
Its been 4 wheel aligned and had 4 new tyres, again no difference.
Im just wondering if anybody else has had this before? The most annoying thing is that my old 2010 Yeti had exactly the same issue that even Skoda could not solve.
Im an ex mechanic but with only five years experience before falling ill (poor memory is just a small part of it) but for the life of me I can't work this one out.
I've thought of Prop bearing and Diff but at that milage?
Any ideas/help would be very much appreciated
Many thanks in advance
