I have a problem which only happens when the FL2 is warm ( TD4 GS Auto). When accelerating from a standing start I am experiencing a noise at about 2000 revs it seems intermittent and is cross between a squeal and a rattle. It lasts for less than a second or two and seems to only happen when going up through the gears. Driving the vehicle normally is ok. Has anybody any ideas? only done 1700 miles.

My TD4 auto does not make the noise you described, and apart from the intermittent fob problem is absolutely OK at present.

"Attox" I'm pretty sure this shouldn't happen. I have had automatic cars in the past and never had the problem with the Torque Convertor! This is in the gearbox isn't It?

The noise is more noticaeble if I wind the window down, I bet it won't go faulty if i take it to the dealer.

I wonder if it can be cured by new ATF fluid. Does anybody know?

I think I have the same problem. I noticed a strange noise when it goes from the 1set to the second gear.... I'll bring the car to my dealer in two weeks..... By chance, my dealer has noticed the noise during a test drive with me..... We'll see in two weeks!

Quiks - what happened about this as I get a similar sound in my TD4 auto

I also get a sound like this in my auto, when accelerationg away and turning at the same time, not always though, sounds like sonething is slipping (like quiet wheelspin). I'd certainly be interested to find out what it is.

I too get the noise occassionally in my auto, would also be interested to know what it is Now - 2017 BMW X3 M Sport Carbon Black

Have a look at your rpm dial if it jumps while you hear this it's probably a cluch problem . Also see if it happens while going uphill with heavy load. Probably nothing but a normal behaivour of this over electroniked FL2.
On the other hand don't accelerate and it won't hapen  FREELANDER 2 TD4 SE (XS UK) IZMIR BLUE SIDE STEPS COLD PACK BI-XENON TINTED WINDOWS - AND PROUD OF HER

I get this but I put it down to the turbo dumping un-needed air as you accelerate

I took my car yesterday to my dealer (the very same that told me two weeks ago: "Definitely, this car has a problem!"). The car stays their the whole day. At the end of the day, the dealer called me and told me to pick up my car. 15 minutes later, as I went their to pick up the car, the same guy who heard that noise weeks ago told me ..... guess what ? THIS IS NORMAL! Meaning, this noise is happening on EVERY diesel engines. He told me that this strange noise was coming from the turbo getting in action..... NO WAY I will believe that! As a matter of fact, if that's the turbo, why is that only happening when the gearbox switches from the 1st to the 2nd gear ?????.... Anyway.... the guy told me that the noise "still to be fixed" by LR..... but for now on... they do not have any solution....

I'll try another dealer...... Could someone confirm me this by asking your dealer (if you have a diesel)....Do diesel versions really have a strange noise when the turbo is engaging and LR has not yet found any fix ?

Thanks....
