  1. Renault ZOE
    Our 2016 Zoe has started crunching/clattering noises over speed bumps this winter, which is much more noticeable when cold. I've read depressingly similar posts on these forums. A local Renault dealer says the entire anti roll bar and mounts need replacing, quoting over £1K. The plot twist is...
  2. First Gen Nissan LEAF (LEAF24 & LEAF30)
    Hi! We just bought one Nissan Leaf from Norway in August previous year. Just on the first ride, we noticed this vibrating/humming sound if we go above 75km/h (or approx. 45 miles per hour). The sound is there with winter AND with summer tires also, and it also doesn't change if I put the car in...
  3. Nissan e-NV200
    Not wind as a consequence of an environmentally-friendly vegan diet, but noise levels in an e-NV200 travelling at dual carriageway speeds. As all drivers and passengers will have noticed, the e-NV200 sounds as though it's being driven through a spring gale, even when it isn't. The noise seems in...
  4. Kia EV6
    Thought I would share this here too, just incase someone had this issue too. The whirring noise is coming from the front motor in an AWD EV6. Seem to be when the front motor is idle or dormant. This can be best observed in Eco mode. Video: EV6-WhirringNoise Original Source: AWD front motor...
  5. Volkswagen Golf GTE
    Hi Guys, I‘m wondering what this weird noises that coming out from the engine bay is. It“ll only be there after a long journey using hybrid mode ( engine is warm ). After i shut the car off and turn it on again, its gone. My car has only 15000km and got no warning light whats so ever. In the...
  6. Volkswagen Golf GTE
    Why does my car make a metallic clicking sound after being parked?
  7. Renault ZOE
    Hi guys, I have a 2015 Q210 Zoe, sometimes I am hearing a strange rattling noise probably from my interion/cabin blower fan. It is independent from the RPM, so the noise do not change just the frequency. During the ride, it some times suddenly stops or I have to turn on/off the vent a few...
  8. Volkswagen e-UP!
    Hi! I just bought the new e-up! I'm very happy with how the car drives but, after a couple of days, I realized that it makes a buzzing noise/sound that is very noticeable when the car is stopped. The noise is coming from the engine area and when I called the dealership, they told me it is...
  9. First Generation Ampera and Volt
    Hi, My rear brakes make an embarrassing farting noise when applied in wet weather. Discs are fine with no pitting, pads look almost new - thinking about dismantling and roughing them up, but has anyone else had this issue and solved it? 2012 Ampera with 36K miles LTM 186mpg
  10. Renault ZOE
    Hi all, Newbie here. I've been thinking about buying a BEV for a while, recently test drove the Zoe and a Leaf. I prefer the Zoe (will probably get a '17 or' 18 model). But I am sensitive to high frequency electrical noise, and am concerned that I might get annoyed by the charging whine from...

  12. Volkswagen Golf GTE
    Hi everyone, Whilst i have been really enjoying the car, especially in the nicer weather(!) i have noticed especially recently in the hotter weather that there are a couple of annoying rattles in the car. The best way to describe them is that they seem to be coming from the door panels, almost...
  13. First Generation Ampera and Volt
    So, after the demise of my old Ampera in a collision, I’ve looked at a couple of replacements (there’s not many to chose from!). I took the only one which appeals to me for a test drive and was loving it until I became aware of a very slight, very high pitched buzzing in my left ear (not...
  14. First Generation Ampera and Volt
    Humor me please. When i park and shut down there are two noises that always make me wonder what the car is doing, I think they are both related to the steering lock but I would like to know what its doing. Some seconds after powering down there is a noise like something being drawn against...
  15. First Generation Ampera and Volt
    Hi all, this is my first post here, greetings from Spain. I just bought a 2012 Opel Ampera with around 100.000 Km. I am really delighted with the car, but a single problem is detracting a little bit from the joy. Under pure electric power the Ampera is making a strange "engine like" noise that...
  16. First Gen Nissan LEAF (LEAF24 & LEAF30)
    Yeah so, when I went to unplug the charger the other day I wondered why the car sounded like an ICE engine on idle. Turns out there's a fan that's on when plugged in to a slow charger, and in my case, it seems to have developed a noise. A squeaky bearing noise. Anyone else had this? The car's...
  17. Nissan e-NV200
    To try and find out if this is a common fault on these vans, potentially to get Nissan involved to try and sort it out. The issue seems to be noise from some parts of the air conditioning or battery cooling system that sounds like grinding/vibration and can be heard from outside of the van as...
  18. General BMW EV Discussion
    Have done less than 2000 miles in my new 330e but it has developed a weird noise emanating from the rear nearside wheel. It sounds rather like a wire extended to breaking point, a kind of crackly metallic sound. It only occurs on acceleration but regardless of whether running on electric or...
  19. First Gen Nissan LEAF (LEAF24 & LEAF30)
    Just got a secondhand 2014 Leaf with approx. 38000 miles on the clock and have noticed a droning/humming sound which I'm concerned may be indicative of a problem. It sounds similar to the problem discussed here Reduction Gear and Final Drive [Archive] - Leaf Talk | Unofficial UK Nissan Leaf...
  20. Renault ZOE
    Hi Everyone, Just charged my brand new ZOE for the first time and it was surprisingly noisy. The same high frequency noise that comes from the car also ends up coming from lights, the TV, computer speakers and the microwave... My dealer first tried to blame it on the charger but after telling...
