Knocking/tapping Noise.

[satnam_johal]

Hello All,

I have a 1999 GS 300, a few days ago a knocking/tapping noise starting to be heard from the drivers side footwell area. It gets louder with the air con on, with the air con off it is just heard when the vehicle is in low revs.

Its in its fourth day now, and seems to be getting louder.

Any ideas?

Any help is much appriecieted, also im not technically minded when it comes to vehicles, so please forgive me if i ask a lot of questions.

p.s. I live in the west london area, if you guys know of a decent place where I can fix would be much apprieciated.

Many thanks for your time and help.

I'm pretty sure the passenger side is where the fan is fitted for the air-con

so at a guess wheel bearing ?

Hello all,

I still get the noise coming slightly even with the ac off, and especialy when the car is in reverse and at low speeds. It seems to be at 500 - 700 rpm.

noise does seem to be comming from behind the dash in the footwell area.

Any ideas ?
