Wheel spin type noise

14 plate Evoque
Last few weeks hearing a noise similar to wheel spin- but I am not accelerating harshly - happens pulling away and even accelerating around 25/30mph & when I am manually changing up between 2/3
Car is 9 speed auto
Anyone had similar or have any suggestions ?
Thanks

Have you had the latest software upgrade for the nine speed gearbox (see previous discussions about this),may have nothing to do with your problem but sounds like too low a gear being selected.

Thanks Yes that was done at service in March- no problem till about two weeks ago

One of the dealer cars I took for a test drive had what you described (MY14 9 speed SD4 auto) - felt like wheelspin mainly when going around a roundabout or corner.

I've read in other forums it is a problem with the turbo. Perhaps look up 'chuffing'.

To Gjh0702:
Did you get your problem fixed?

In the last few weeks i realized a similar behaviour on my car (MY14, 9 speed auto, Diesel).
Especially in lower gears and at roundabouts i have sometimes a fizzling noise from the engine.
It seems to come from the front left side.
In the same moment i notice a cut off of the power but no real loss of power.
For me it sounds like a wastegate blow off.
There are no failures in the ECU.
So the question is: Is it a bug or is it a feature?

From new there wasn't such a behaviour.
I remember i got the Q450 update some weeks before i noticed it for the first time.
Had the Q500 update this week and the noise and power cut off is still there (sometimes).
My dealer doesn't know about a problem (like every time...)

To Pete@LandRover:
Since january this year there is a SSM72158 in Topix which describes this issue.
Is this solved or still under investigation?
Here and in other forums there are some posts where the problem was gone after changing the turbo...

Car been into dealer they could not get it to do . Picked it up went out with Technician and it did it.
Booked in for three days next week- Technician thinks it may be engine related rather than - transmission.
Latest Gearbox software loaded whilst in
will update when I know more

I think I have the same problem on my MY15 9 speed Auto. Same type of noise at low speeds typically around 40-60km/hr. I had the 9 speed software upgrade done about a month ago but that didn't fix it. I noticed the noise which sounds like freewheeling bearings that are not old or some kind of fan noise. Its hard to describe. I noticed it after about 5k, now i have driven 10k still can hear it and its very annoying.

The dealer said its normal, and its to do with the gears freshening on gear changes and the clutch not catching up .. whatever ... I don't buy it ... I am scheduling another visit.

Mine is going in to get this noise looked at for the second time, next week. I'll post back results but I am afraid they will. To be positive ...
