Resonance 65-75mph

Hi All!

New to the forum, thanks for having me.

I have a persistent issue with my 2017 D5 (HSE Lux with optional rear diff). For the last 9 months, the car has exhibited a resonance type of noise when backing off the accelerator from around 75 mph. The noise is deep and isn't consistent - it has a period of about half a second so goes 'whom-whom-whom-whom'. The noise persists down to just under 65 mph and then stops. It does it in neutral, as well as in drive.

2 months ago, the service manager said that they had experienced the issue on a test drive, had swopped the wheel set as a trial and this had cleared the issue. They gave me back the car with the original wheel set on and said they'd present a solution for me. The service manager has since left (some contention around this - a few tech's left at the same time) and I'm having to start from scratch with a new diagnostic technician.

Went out with the new diagnostic tech this morning for a test drive and couldn't get the noise to present itself in an obvious manner, although I could tell it was there - typical! He's keeping it for 3 days to get some miles done and try to replicate the issue.

So, any similar problems out there and any reported fixes?

Thanks,

Gareth

Do you not think the the thread "Vibrations between 50 and 60" is linked to your problem?
