Help! Clunky possible grinding noise

13th April 2014, 16:37

Hello, first time I have used this website, hoping someone can help. I have a Citroen Saxo desire 03 plate. After I have been driving for about 15 mins I can hear a clunking noise coming from the front end of the car. First I thought it was coming from the front right wheel. But today it sounded like it was near the bonnet. The noise is louder the slower I go. Plus when I use my break. The noise gets louder too. Eventually the longer I drive the more frequent and louder the noise is. It does take 15 mins to start sometimes longer and shorter.

Plus when I use my window wiper (Front) the wiper doesn't go back to the bottom. It just sits there in the middle of the window until I time it right :-/
The back window wiper works fine

If anyone can help or guide me in the right direction it would be a big help ;-)

Clunking sounds like it could be your driveshaft on its way or you've got a warped disc but I'd put my money in the drive shaft. Drive in a circle on full lock and see if it knocks much. If it does certainly the shaft.

Wiper will either be something like your relay, but more than likely the wiper motor.

The side I thought it was coming from, I replaced the drive shaft and the disk looks fine :-/ Might have to take it into a garage :-( there gunna rip my eyes out I know it haha
