Hi
I am bringing my car to a mechanic tomorrow morning as there is a crunching noise when I press on the brakes ( I assume I need new brake pads), the car also makes what can only be descibed as a roaring noise ( as if I am in the wrong gear) when driving ,I have had the exhaust checked out and have been told its perfect, anyway does anyone have any idea of what this " roar" could be its a 00 Renault Clio I have had it 7 months. It's not that I do not trust mechanics but would like to have some idea of what the issue is before I bring it to him
Thanks

Again, difficult to say - I'm no mechanic - but it could be that the air/fuel mixture is wrong, which again, may be a fairly simple job.Thanks for the reply I would say it's coming from the rear of the car,

Yip driving in the right gearA car sounding like it's in the wrong gear will have high revs, and if it has high revs when your are not pushing on, then it's problem.
I guess it comes down to a better explanation of 'roaring sound'.
Therefore I doubt its the brakes either as when the car starts moving again its only in second gear so not going at speednissanfigaro said:sounds like a brake problem
wheel bearing noise can only be heard at about 30 upwards and get progressively louder at speed
Yip driving in the right gear
Its a load noise that comes and goes and happens when stationary (and only when the car has been stopping and starting in traffic). About 30 seconds after moving off it stops.
Therefore I doubt its the brakes either as when the car starts moving again its only in second gear so not going at speed
I just got a 00 clio as well recently and when i start the car and take hand break off I hear a kind of crunch noise would this have anything to do with fact there are new brake pads in car?
Mmmm - that I didn't think of. Although would it also not make noise when above second gear if it was the fan belt?could it be your fan belt squealing???????
