Beeping noise on roundabouts (1 Viewer)

[Casper46]

In between lockdowns we took the MH for a short run along the bypass, at each roundabout something beeped. As it was completely empty we thought it was a warning that we had no water in the tanks. We half filled it with water yesterday and we have been out for an hours run. It's still bleeping. I have just checked all the cupboards and found the carbon monoxide alarm laid on a shelf on its front. Hopefully it has slid along the shelf on roundabouts and caught the test button. I have slid it along the kitchen floor and it beeped so hopefully it's problem solved.
Next trip is three nights at the Crown in Mickleton at the beginning of May so there will be a few bends to test it out.

That's lovely, I would have seen him as he would have overtaken me. I am practising sticking to 50 mph on single carriageways.

Are you sure the sound is not coming from the front end. We had the same on our last van, beeped on every roundabout after about the 10th time I notice a message flash up on the dash but so fast you couldn't read it. Finally managed to read it after another half a dozen beeps, low oil level.

Beeping can also be a result of bad driving....oooops

If I go round a roundabout too fast I often hear whining -

- from the passenger side.

Spouse swearing but being bleeped out?

Traction control coming on as the van sways due to the force associated with rounding the ‘bend’ thus unloading the inside wheel, causing momentary wheel spin.

Casper46 I had a similar experience, turned out to be an alarm clock that was sliding across a cupboard on right hand bends and pressed its own buttons.

I reckon Lenny HB has the answer .. I had the same with our Peugeot toad.

Are you normally a BMW driver? The beeping could be the indicator and you’re not used to it.

No, it’s from the rear and I checked the oil level before we left home. I was going steady - speed wise. There are so many speed checks locally, besides which I do try to observe speed limits. It’s difficult due to the rubbish position of the Fiat speedo, I can get to within a couple of mph without needing to check but speed traps don’t take that into account. I have a heads up display but as our last journey in November was return from France I forgot to change it before today’s trip.

Sorry, I miss read Lenny's post .. my problem was low brake fluid level not oil.

I had that on my current van, the level was mid way between min & max.

I have had exactly the same experience when the oil seal went on my filter.

I had exactly the same problem, it turned out to be the low level warning for the cold water tank (habitation not engine).

 

[Keep Right On]

I had a loud beep when I drove Harvey for the first time after lockdown - once every few minutes from somewhere behind me. It was irritating. Then on parking, climbed in the hab door and it beeped again. Found the culprit - old battery in the smoke detector.......durrh

We thought that was our problem so we half filled the tank before we left home.

I get a bleep on roundabouts and it is the tyre pressure warning unit, I set that pressure drop/rise too close and as we go around the corner the increase in pressure is greater than the one that I set and it goes off, I will do it again sometime

I don't think that we have a tyre pressure warning on ours, unless it's a Carthago standard fit and we don't know about it.
But thanks for the idea.
