Hi all,
I am having this vibration/buzzing sound when I accelerate and it ONLY happens at 1500 RPM. I have spent two weeks looking through forums/ google and trying to get people to give me advice and to no avail with a fix.
I have spent weekends looking at the tailgate and trim etc, but a couple who have sat in the car with me think it’s the exhaust breaking down. I’ve looked under there and the heat shield is fine. Exhaust is rather rusty and the car has done 168 thousand miles on the original exhaust?! Heat shield fine and loads of clearance etc
If you listen carefully in the video attached you’ll hear the noise now and again throughout, but especially right at the end of the video. It’s like a vibrating buzzing noise. Ignore the banging around and other slight noises, the road I was on was shocking but you’ll notice the specific noise in the video. I still personally think it’s to do with something in or on the tailgate area but I have spent weeks in the boot trying things. As mentioned it’s only when I use the accelerator and the car hits exactly 1500 RPM.
What do you guys think? Any advice would be massively appreciated as I’m getting quite distressed trying to locate the issue.
If the video below isn’t working, here is a link for it.
