"wooing" sound while driving ...PLEASE HELP!

[benniv86]

Hi all.

I bought a 08 freelander2 in jan and love it but in the last couple months it seems to have a wierd constant wooing sound. Its always there when im moving only.

I have an auto so as i go up in revs the wooing gets abit louder, but as it changed gears it quitens down and gets abit louder and stays thsde when I hit a constand speed.

Its not crazy loud but i know its there and ots driving me crazy!

Does anyone have any idea at all .

Any info or advice would be great.

Thanks in advance!!

Petrol? Diesel?

I'm not sure what a wooing noise sounds like in a car. Is the sound linked to the wheel speed or the engine speed. Is it coming from the front, middle or rear? It is most likely the famous rear diff issue but that is more a whine not a woo. I learnt the difference between a whine and a woo from my wife....in general, woo's are good and whine's aren't, if you get my drift?

Roof rack? I changed my rack on the D2 and it sounded like Chewbacca coming down the road!

The whining rear diff is just about the only fault these cars have. Most have it fixed under warranty. Mine happened around the 80k kms mark which fortunately was inside the 3 years from new. Yours may have had it done by the previous owner. LR would know.

Hi Benni,
Have you found the problem yet.? I too had a distinct wooing noise that followed the rpm of the car - only started about 3 months after I bought the car. Some quick fault finding pointed to the power steering pump. Found a Land Rover Bulletin stating that some of the racks were contaminated with weld spatter at manufacture and that clogs the pump resevoir filter (which is non removable). Easy and cheap fix - new resevoir was about $350 installed.

Easy way to tell is: Car running, stationary, turn the steering wheel and if the "woo" gets louder/ changes tone - its the pump.

I know that sound.

When I picked up my Freelander from Brisbane it had that wooing noise. I bought the car sight unseen (yeah stupid but you can't get anything up here in Cairns without paying through the nose) and on the drive home I thought oh great the diff :mad:. But no. It was the tyres.

It had 2 Goodyears on the back and some Chinese "Goodride" on the front, so of course I thought it must be the Chinese tyres. But no. It was the Goodyear Wrangler HPs were knackered!! They still had plenty of tread but the inside / outside tread blocks were uneven (one high the next low).

You can check if you put your hand flat on the tread and run it around the tyre. If it's not smooth but a little bumpy I'd say its your tyres.

Turn the Barry White down and the wooing will stop.;)
