Dear all,

Just bought a 2014 Visia 1.2, and noticed a noise when I change gears or accelerate. This seems to happen the 1st 10mn, then clears...sounds like dashboard vibration, or an exhaust problem (but from the front). I checked of there was anything loose, and apart from air intake all seems ok. I thought if air intake was an issue, then it would be consistent and remains.

I attached a video, where noise can hopefully be heard around 0:10-0:14.
Noise is like a pushed diesel, but what bugs me is that it is only on 1st 10-15mn, afterwards it clears and that is even if park car for a while and drive again.



Any thoughts on what this could be ?

Thanks in advance !

Welcome to this forum.

Hopefully someone else has a clue - I haven't. Not all that clear in your video. I don't recall anything similar.

Have you checked the oil level? Is your engine using oil? May have developed the infamous engine problem.

Thanks Gloucester !

Checked oil level and it looks fine.
Else I agree, noise is not so clear on the video. Will attempt recording once more with an external mic, as soon as I can.

Added another video where you can clearly here the noise, mostly from 1-3 gear, around 0:06-0:08 and 0:10.
I only had this car for a week, so not sure if this is how it supposed to sound...but I doubt it is normal and worried something will give soon.

Still not easy to tell - is it what I might call a "rasping" sound? Could be a bit of sympathetic vibration somewhere?

Thanks Gloucester, more like a broken exhaust...just from the front or dashboard.

Not sure it is related, but on 2 occasions I heard a sound similar to dragging metal. Happens when I started reversing from parking spot.
Examined exhaust and it seems secured well enough.

Noise source was finally found and fixed.
Between engine and cabin, there was panel which was a bit loose. Tightened now and noise gone completely....now I have to deal with other issues :-)
