Humming

Afternoon everyone :D

Got my first Leon...and first Seat a few weeks ago.

Started making what I'd describe as a humming or droning that is barely noticeable, even with no music on BUT hit around 40mph (no slower, no faster) with just the right amount of pressure on the accelerator pedal and it is really loud......stops immediately after releasing the pedal 🤔

Unsure if related to above but have recently noticed when braking to a stop, say at traffic lights, it is not really "smooth" not sure how to describe it but it is sort of like, smooth..smooth.."bump"...smooth..smooth..."bump" :ROFLMAO:

It is a 2012 1.6 TDI ..... fresh MOT (5th August, NO advisories)

If anyone has any ideas the cause behind this, it would be very welcome :love:

*Update*

Had this finally in the garage today, it has been diagnosed with needing a new gearbox differential, so apparently the easiest way forward is to replace the whole gearbox 😭 ...... and a warped brake disc
