Anyone hear of this noise?
Has anyone had this prob? I sounds like a clicking noise only when i am driving. I know it is not my vavles cause when i am drving i can shut the car off all the way and still hear it. Thinging it might be the cv axel maybe or something dont know. Just wondring if anyone hear of it or had that prob before i take it to the dealer to get some more info on it before i go. I dont like going into the dealership not know cause then they make 4 or more diff people drive it to find out the pob and i hate that LOL!!! I went in for a left wheel hub being bad and they took it out on 5 test drives to find out the prob when I told them the prob and what it was doing. I think they just like driving mine LOL!!!

Does it sound like a loose bolt coming from the wheel well? I was asking about this a few months back and apparently it's normal for all xBs, someone said it was the ABS or something like that, it's only audible going over bumps. Another clicking noise that you could possibly hear is the catalytic converter working, it tends to click during operation.

I got the car back yesturday and they told me and showed the trans fluid that came out from the old trans and i was like WTF!!!!!! It looked like they took silver spray paint and metel flakes and put in a bottle LOL!!! I never seen or heard of trans fluid that color and no one else has to LOL!!!! It is back at the shop today cause the abs and trac control light came on and the vsc light was blinking and the right ffront wheel hub went out LOL!!!! I hope this is the last of the problems i am going to have LOL!!! Hell it all started with the left wheel hub then the first trans then the second trans then the right wheel hub like a chain reaction. Hope it stops there LOL!!! Can't really see what it can chain react to next there is nothing to the right of the right side wheel LOL!!!!
