Hi Guys,
I'm looking for some advice from those that may have encountered the same problem.
Driving back along the motorway and suddenly developed a loud thumping sound, seemingly coming from under the centre console area of the car, really bad vibration also.
At first i thought i had a puncture as the thumping sound had a recurring rythem, this faded as the speed was reduced but still evident at low speed.
On stopping to check, it appeared that all tyres were fully inflated and good, which i was really surprised at as i was convinced it was a flat. So, anyone have any ideas what this could be ?
While driving i switched the car over to battery only driving to eliminate the engine as being the cause, even with the engine off the thumping sound was still there.... so not the engine (Thank God!)
Any thoughts or explanations gratefully accepted..... it's a 2016 S Class 500e L by the way.
