Does anyone know where I can start to look for the reason my ZX now makes a threshing/swooshing noise all the time. It seems to increase as the revs increase though only marginally. Anyone know where I should Start looking? It still drives 120% but this noise makes me worry for the worst!!!
Open up the bonnet and have a listen. I use a sort of stethoscope made out of a bit of garden hose - but be careful not to get it too near 'owt that moves!!
Might turn out to be something like a drive belt, or alternator bearing or some such from your description, although I don't know these cars.
What's this, a host of ZX failures? Look in the thread down there |

The thread labelled Citroen ZX noise or Citroen ZX threshing noise

That was sent by me, but dodnt really have anything of any real use. I think it could be the alternator bearing, how can I test if its this without taking off the alternator or belt!
Is the noise at the front offside? There is a belt tensioner where the bearings can get noisy and the lubricant washed away by water and dirt. May be that? Sounds like beads rattling increasing with the revs.
