My cars making a humming noise when im driving its kinda loud from the onside I dont know what it sounds like from the out side. I took it to a mechanic he said it can be anything to from yor hub to your gearbox bearing. It starts from about 25to30kmh then constant from there up and including deceleration down to thee r 20kmh range

Has anyone else had this problem before.
I got the 95 gr fto

Thank you

How old are your tyres?

Wheel bearings. My rears do the same at a similar speed range.

As the mechanic said, it could be either of those things.

Jack the drive wheels up and see if you can get it to do it while it is stationary. Wheel bearing is easy to check, jack the car up and spin the wheel with your hand as fast as you can. Then place your hand on the shock above the wheel, while it is still spinning and if the wheel bearing is shot you will feel a vibration through the shock.

my tyres used to hum like crazy but never on a wet road so to see if its your tyres drive on a wet road to see if it goes away.
