Mine does, but only notice it very occasionally, certainly not every trip and not very loud.

Just a thought, but has anyone with an Auto noticed this noise?

My hearing is pretty shot, especially to higher pitch levels, but I have never noticed the dreaded "micro grind" from my Auto.

"The dreaded micro-grind" .... O'hh that made me chuckle that :cheer:

That's food for thought ...... it so far seems to be the manuals only. If that is confirmed, then perhaps the more mechanically experienced members may be able to hone in on a cause.

Interesting stuff.

Would probably be very easy to locate and repeatable if someone had access to a dyno. As can be recreated static so different areas can be checked and the noise located. Shame I don't have one local otherwise I'd be on it!
