Hi,Need some advice/help from members around/sifus. I'm driving e36 318 1993 model. Mycar's problem is, it's starts sound 'wooing' (sound like a plane to take-off) when the speed exceed 120km/h. the woooing sound comes from the rear, I presume. Sent to w/shop and they changed the rear bearing but the problem still persist. The mechanic said this probably comes from the 'long shaft'. Is it true? or it may comes from other factors.Regards.
E36 318 Long Shaft problem?

Could be long shaft balancing is off, U-joints are binding or center bearing needs replacing?

have you checked wheels and tires, when was the last time a balancing and alignment was done ?
check those simply things first then go for possible complicated solutions
also doesn't mean that the sound comes from the rear, its from the rear, mechanical component vibrate and sound/vibration can travel, i.e. you are traveling at 120 kmph but the sound may not be as fast, so it has to chase your ears and so you hear it from the rear.....theory of lightning and thunder, which happens first....
what other symptoms are you aware of? vibrations? humming?
another very last possibilty would be your fuel pump, it buzzes, humms before it is about to die, and yes its at your rear seats, so it could be just that

Hi,
I've already change the tyre (2nd punye) but the sound is still there. I goin back to see my mech this week and will tell him the possibilities ( feedback from members). About the longshaft, I've asked my mech earlier... 2nd hand longshaft +/- RM700.Let you all know the outcome after seeing my mech tomorrow, whether it can be solved or not.
Anybody knows any good mech in Seremban? Tak tahan to and fro Sbn-KL. I'm staying in Sbn.

long shaft balancing cost around rm200 with all the bearing replaced.
However on the upah, depend on how much ur mechanic ketuk you.
second hand is a bit hard to find, because normally kedai potong sell the gearbox with longshaft...but can try...
and second hand sometimes wont solve the issue because the second hand also not balance already....

Sis,
I'll find out if I manage to see En. Ibrahim this weekend. Btw mech mana yg u tanya tu?. Had he drove your car and for sure the sound is due to exell prob?. I had already with one mech, stating that my rear bearing sudah kaput and the sound comes from bearing prob.. at the end I,m poorer by more than RM400. The sound is still there..

Sis,
I've been intoduced by a pensioner by the name of Abg Ramli to his long time friend who owns a workshop in senawang who is specialise in Merc, BMW and most continental cars. The owner is Mr. Mun Chong. He's about late 50's and seem to be a nice chap.I just sent my car fora check-up. After a few spin with my car, he dignosed that the wooing sound probably comes from my longshaft. He has ordered one from 'chop shop in KL' and will change mine. If everything is ok.. then pay. kalau tak ok, tanggal balik the longshaft and looking further the cause of the wooing sound. Sound like a good deal for me.
