X5 40d

Chris330 · 07-07-2018, 07:45 AM

Gents, I know this is the F3X section but I'm at a loss on this one with the Mrs's X5.

Its a new 2018 F15 and 600 miles in.

On the F3X or F15 has anyone experienced a strange ticking noise like a switch is being turned on and off when the brake pedal is pressed or depressed and when you come on or off the accelerator. It also happens when I turn the steering wheel either way and when I go over pot holes/bumps in the road.

It's as if I'm I hearing each electrical system switch on and switch off again. The noise comes from behind the Dash which suggests to me it's an electrical issue?

Like I say, at a loss but just wanted to check before I book it in.

Cheers

I don't hear anything when I brake but when I turn the heated seats on or off then I will hear a click from what I assume is the relay under the dash somewhere. Very surprised you'd hear it in the x5 though

Steering rack?

120 miles into ownership with my new X5 and can't say I've experienced anything similar. It's very quiet compared to the F3x so if you are hearing weird noises I'd get it back into the dealer.

Could it be packaging or anything left on from transport that's catching somewhere?
