wheezing suspension

[Octman]

After having had my creaking suspension fixed (sort of) by replacement of a drop link, I now need to get the wheezing noise sorted. Only happens on the driver's side, when the suspension is compressed quickly there is the sound of compressed air being released. I have heard this noise before on motorcycle front forks. Is it serious, does it need attention, or is it the way they are? Seems to be both front and rear, but driver side only. It's a 2.0 110 2WD SE TDI.

Thanks

I think you may be hearing the noise of the oil inside the shock absorber moving between chambers as as the suspension moves (cavitation if I recall). This is normal. I hear it when I have the windows down but do not notice it otherwise. Also had it on my last Seat.

If in doubt though go to the dealer and get them to check.

I sometimes fart when I sit down too. I put it down to old age.

No No Bobdog, farting affects anybody at any age!!

It gets worse.

Normal suspension noise, turn the radio up and it will not be a problem.

Be assured in our household, you'd know when dog did one!!! The whole room is cleared :-) We have now emergency air freshener, for such tragedies :-)

My cat has a knack of deploying the odd SBD (silent but deadly) with the effect of the creeping death. Odd how the moggie appears to smile smugly once deployment is complete.

Sorry for being off topic

I used to be a teacher. Fart and walk away - the kids will blame each other!

A teaching colleague of mine, a chemist, used to blame the experiment. He got a bit concerned when a kid wrote up his account of the experiment for homework stating that "a foul smell was given off", and wondered how many kids wrote something similar for their GCSEs, and whether they failed.

Surely that's normal?

Afterall it's just the seat cushion compressing.

Producing noxious gas when rising is far more common in our house.

Usually the MIL, with no recognition of the event, despite the rasping.

What gauge rasp do you use on the MIL?

Normally a 1/2" round jobbie but a cheese grater if that is insufficient

Since this appears to have become the topic...

A friend of mine had a lab which used to fart in its sleep in front of the TV. It was by no means silent (a high-pitched "wheeeeeep") but it was only when the choking horror spread to the hound's nostrils that it would wake up, stare accusingly at the other family members (who by that stage would be slowly turning green as the poisonous fumes took effect), and - pausing only to bestow a final, witheringly disparaging backward glance in their direction - exit the room.

Funny what people will put up with from their pets.
