Hissing sound
Driving home today noticed a hissing sound coming from passenger side rear, Not sure just where it is coming from
as only hear it when vehicle is moving
sound is not constant, more intermittent
Any ideas please.

I would check your hoses.
I had the exact noise in my Bongo. Turned out to be a small hole in one of the hoses.
Best to check it out.

Re: Hissing sound
Is it a wooshing sound just before it changes up gear?
Really advise you to check your hoses when the engine is running.
I ignored the sound for a while, then i noticed it was loosing coolant and that turned out to be quite costly.
